About The Psychology Student Writer's Manual And Reader's

Product Description The Psychology Student Writer’s Manual and Reader’s Guide, Third Edition, is a set of instructions and exercises that sequentially develop citizenship, academic, and professional skills while providing students with knowledge about a wide range of psychological concepts, phenomena, and information sources. Part 1 begins by teaching students to read newspapers and other media sources critically and analytically. It focuses on the crafts of writing and scholarship by providing the basics of grammar, style, formats, and source citation, and then introduces students to a variety of rich information resources. Part 2 prepares students to research, read, write, review, and critique psychology scholarship. Part 3 provides exercises in advanced studies, including biological psychology, sensation and perception, developmental psychology, social psychology, and abnormal psychology. About the Author Gregory M. Scott, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Central Oklahoma, is best known for his co-authored (with Stephen M. Garrison and others) thirty-three volumes of sociology texts and readers published by Pearson Higher Education. He and Professor Garrison are now developing a series of ten writer’s manuals with Rowman & Littlefield.
