Editorial Reviews

"The text covers all of the major challenges students who take psychology will face when it comes to preparing written and even oral presentations of their work, or the work of others. The writing style is also easy to follow, manages to keep the reader engaged, and offers multiple examples to
illustrate the main issues students will have to address in order to excel on their psychology assignments."

--Karen Brebner, St. Francis Xavier University
