Classic Studies in Psychology 1 (Short Cuts)
Running time 40 minutes.
“Short Cuts represents the future of educational resources, brief and to the point, with plenty of opportunities for interactive learning. The additional resources allow teachers to maximise their use of IT in the classroom and enable students to learn in a variety of different styles. I’m already looking forward to the release of Short Cuts 2.”
Deb Gajic, Head of Social Science at Polesworth International Language College
“With some educational DVD's costing over £150 for a single study or area you can't beat the price of £50 for all 5 clips. Not only that you're getting all of the added resources, lesson plans and PowerPoints. An excellent resource that I will be making good use of next year. A resource that will get used again-and-again.”
