The whole course in six areas
Key thinkers, research methods and data
From Durkheim, Marx and Weber to Parsons, Bowles and Gintis, Willis, Young and Willmott, Oakley and Heidensohn, questions cover what each thinker argued, the evidence behind it and how to evaluate it, and flash cards link each name to the main idea.
Thinkers sit inside their own topics, so you learn them alongside the debates they belong to: the family, education, crime and deviance, and social stratification.
Research methods questions ask you to choose the right method for a research aim, spot problems with a sample, weigh reliability against validity, and read bar charts, line graphs, pie charts and tables, the way the exam asks you to.
What's inside
- Exam-style questions with a full explanation for every answer
- A revision note for every subtopic, with key terms, thinkers, evaluation points and diagrams
- Flash cards for key terms, thinkers and studies
- Charts drawn from the same survey data as the answers
- A mock test that draws questions from across your course
- One purchase covers both exam boards
