- Tips for the best practice when reading and critiquing research.
- Activities to test your knowledge.

Supplements
This is a clear and very easy to understand text, it provides guidence for the student in a supportive manner. I like the ease of navigation and the key points. Just one small issue though might be the lack of colour in the text although I do understand the finances behind this. But an excellent text all together
Good text but not essential information
