Folens have published an online companion to their new AQA (A) psychology textbook ‘The Complete Companion’. The very popular textbook, written by Cara Flanagan and Mike Cardwell, has been re-written for the 2008 specifications and is now on sale. I will write a review as soon as I receive my copy – well when I have received it and then read it.
The online companion consists of a blog written by Cara Flanagan, Mike Cardwell and Ade Frost and will have some extra resources and exam tips to follow.
Do have a look at the very promising blog here.
