Reviews
Jessica Horst provides an excellent guide, for the undergraduate and postgraduate alike, on how to best extract the skills taught in a psychology research project and transfer these to the work place. Her clear and frank writing style means the book is accessible but not patronizing. A must read for any student of psychology. Jonathan Silas, University of Roehampton, UK Research can be unnerving for students but this book provides a step-by-step guide for completing projects from start to finish. The content is geared toward psychology students but can be used by students across the social sciences. Kelly Campbell, California State University, San Bernardino, US The book guides students with practical advice for creating a successful experience, from choosing a mentor to time management to specific suggestions for concise and effective writing. A particular strength is the emphasis on transferring the myriad skills acquired in conducting and writing about research to the work place that awaits students beyond graduation . . . I believe it will be of invaluable assistance to students working on their first independent research project. Beverley Goldfield, Rhode Island College, US
