What Our Readers Say
A fantastic, simple, easy-to-follow layout that has just helped me complete my second assignment for an Openings course at Open University. It has been over 20 years since I was at school, so I am struggling a little with all this.
Whilst there is plenty of information available on the web, I feel it is not as simplistic and basic to follow as yours… it’s too complex, and I get lost and feel more inadequate!
Sharon Owen, Undergraduate Student
Thank you for all the information you have provided on your site! I’m writing a college essay on Vygotsky and Piaget, and your website has given me the basic information I need in a well-written and easily understandable way.
It is rare to find a website that hits the nail on the head, as well as yours!
