Thinking Tools for Students: Analysis & Evaluation Techniques for your Project

Thinking Tools for Students is a non-academic text to support BTEC students, Foundation Degree students, Higher Apprentices, and junior teamleaders and project managers in all fields of study. It is especially useful for study projects, BTEC projects, Study Skills units, and small work projects. The content is pitched at BTEC Levels 3, 4, and 5, and the range of problem solving techniques matches the grading criteria of BTEC units, such as the BTEC in Engineering, Engineering Project and Communication for Engineering Technicians. The book also aims to support students on Foundation degrees who build portfolios of evidence for Study Skills units, where evidence of analysis and evaluation techniques supports higher achivement.

The content of the book has purposefully been written as a non-academic text, exploring conventional techniques, rather than the more academic and creative-unconventional ones.
