I found the chapters on HR, interviewing and applying for jobs very good indeed. Likewise, the chapters on research principles and ′back at university′ are informative and relevant to students.

A very useful text that supports the process and practice of placements for sports students ensuring they maximise the learning potential of work based placements -- Mr Phil Brown * drupal *
The text does not relate to clinical placements and is therefore not relevant to the field of nursing -- Mrs Ann Deane * drupal *
This book is a really welcome addition, bringing structure and theory to the placement experience in a way that is accessible to the learner. There is a great deal of theoretical detail within the text but it is consistently applied and that is a strength. I like the incremental development of the book and the structure works effectively. The practicality and simplicity of the writing style makes this book particularly attractive to the learner. I most certainly will use if for the post-graduate placement module I teach and confidently predict that the students will find it useful. -- Mrs Jane Thomas * drupal *
