Review :
“The book is likely to be more useful for less advanced lecturers. … For beginner tutors … it can be a helpful guide. … For experienced lecturers, it can be a time-saving book in which they can look at a well-crafted instruction for the organization of a methodological course and thus be inspired to work with their PhD students in the role of tutor. Therefore, the book can be a tool for supervisors to guide future lecturers.” (Jana Dlouhá, ISCB News, iscb.info, June, 2022) “The book How to Teach a Course in Research Methods for Psychology Students by Ross A. Seligman will be useful for new teachers. It will also be interesting for Research Methods professors to read this book as an exchange of experience. In addition, this book was interesting to me personally as a way of acquiring new information about higher education in the United States, which is different from my experience in the Ukraine.” (Maria Ivanchuk, ISCB News, iscb.info, Issue 70, December, 2020)
