What do teachers say about this resource? (8164)

Good help for a new teacher to get started and good reminders and prompts for teacher that have taught the specification before ... it helps give me and my teachers some inspiration for each chapter ... It is clearly indicative of the course content and so ensures the students have access all the relevant content for the specification ... it is clear and concise and doesn't necessarily require any other specified resources ... it really helps keep you on track with what the students need to know

What do teachers say about this resource? (6886, 8164)

Excellent resources, contain good amount of detail for the course... I really like the structure it is in, easy to find what I am exactly looking for... If you are teaching the course I highly recommend the companion to support teaching and planning." – F Bencid, customer

Comprehensive. There is a great number of resources that can be provided for pre-reading prior to teaching a topic. It will also serve as a suitable text for classroom and revision purposes... It is to the point and well organised to match the specification, with clear topics that also match the keyword and topic tests resources I have also purchased... [It is] far better value than the texts available and covers topics in more depth... [Matches the OCR specification] very well." – S Rogers, customer

Excellent, I’ve previously used ZigZag resources and my expectations have once again been met... The information/content is accurate, detailed, presented/laid out well... It’s a must, excellent value for money and saves a lot of time with planning. It’s also a good recap for me with my own subject knowledge... Matches OCR GCSE Computer Science J276 very well." – M Crane, customer
