Create a flyer for "Test Yourself: Developmental Psychology"

A very useful addition to developmental courses as it encourages students to get into the habit of checking their own knowledge.

These texts are next to useless for students. Staff will nick the odd question but that's about it. Unlike A Levels there is no standard curriculum and so giving students questions that they cannot answer except by reading outside of the areas that they are being taught. The texts are not a good idea unless they are supported by a text that has closely mapped chapters. Further ..... too much of the book is made up of mcq .... at HE we are trying to get students to develop argument rather than knowing fact - I won't be recommending them!

It was rather clear and useful. I like the variety of MCQ styles but I thought they were a bit easy.

This book is an excellent resource for those students embarking on Psychology for the first time as an undergraduate.

I feel this text could be used as a support and encouragement of wider reading.

This is an excellent idea for learning about developmental psychology. The author orients the reader clearly and the organisation of the material flows and builds around a deep knowledge of the subject.

I was hoping they would be useful as a stand-alone resource for 1st/2nd year and I think they will do that to some extent as some of the question will not have been covered in the lectures and textbooks that they have been reading. We will order some of these for the library I think and advise the students that study groups would find these very useful as well as individuals for study

This book has been recommended for supplemental reading on the developmental module at undergraduate level. I found it a very useful source that I feel will help those students wishing to test their understanding and therefore supplement the lecture and test materials used at the university

Great resource for students. Good variety of MCQ questions.

Useful test stock to link to lecturing in accessible way. Some quotations seem idiosyncratic to author's approach.

Like- original, only test yourself book I have come across. Well designed inside, good price. Dislike- N/A.

We have two large first year modules which contains a multiple choice exam at the end. Both of these modules include an element of Developmental Psychology so this text would be a useful recommendation for students to help them with their revision. I like the fact that there are 4 possible answers (as this is the format we use for our tests so it will be familiar to students), and the questions are organised into introductory and advanced.

I liked the range and level of MCQ essay questions and fill-in-the-blank questions; a useful resource. The book could be improved by recommending text books on which the tests are based. These “learning through assessment” books are well-structured and contain an impressive database of relevant test questions at an appropriate level. The individual books would be suitable for undergraduates and some postgraduates in psychology. The subjects covered are a good match for the range of topics being taught in psychology departments today; all major research areas are well covered. \

Very useful.

Too specific- questions asked will be dependent on individual lecture content.

The quizzes are very thorough yet I teach Lifespan Development so will only be using the text for certain revision aspects of the course.

It was too basic - tested rote learning rather than understanding

Similar to other books in this range, this title offers an excellent resource for students. Whilst I would be unlikely to recommend it as essential (or order copies for the library) I would certainly recommend it as a study aid and revision tool for students.

I think this resources is excellent (for tutors) and certainly gave me some good ideas about what to include in the MCQs at Coventry University. However, I would not like to recommend a text that basically just gives students questions and answers through MCQs.

I am afraid I am not very impressed with a textbook that any of us could produce, as it is basically an MCQ like those we all use at the end of a lecture to make sure students have followed.
