Good Introduction text for Trainee Biology Teachers
As i hope to teach Biology when i do my PGCE,i needed an introduction to the syllabus and range of ideas from experienced teachers. The book has a good layout and covers ten chapters of a range of fieids from cell biology to microbiology.Anyone who is anyone in this field seems to be in it.The diagrams are good,but they are all in black and white, more colour would be better.The ideas for classes are excellent and where to get further help is also a good idea.The book is a nice size too.Not too big and is ideal for a quick read prior to classes.If you are going to teach this subject then get the book.It will help me when i visit the schools during my PGCE.It is always wise to learn from those who have done it before you.
