Rachel Vipond, University of York This lively and interactive book is filled with useful tasks and suggestions, providing new and returning researchers a terrific framework to help them think through their project. Jon Dean, Sheffield Hallam University A useful introductory and interactive journal for undergraduates beginning their first independent research project. A valuable tool to use throughout the research process that will aid students' reflective thinking. Emma Craddock, University of Warwick An accessible book to guide students through the research project cycle with prompts and examples to encourage and capture thinking, which aids learning and reflection during the project and beyond.
