While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, these resources should be used as a
supplementary tool and not as a replacement for the aforementioned textbooks or other official
educational material. Many of these authors also share their own resources independently of
their textbooks on their relevant social media, which are also very helpful in the classroom.
Note on Typos:
Despite careful proofreading and the use of Grammarly to fix as many errors as possible, typos or
grammatical errors may still be present.
Software Tools Used:
Various tools have been utilised to create these resources, such as Microsoft 365 (Word,
PowerPoint, and OneNote), and Canva (and Canva Magic). Additional educational tools like
YouTube, Spotify, and Quizlet have also been employed to enhance the learning experience. These
platforms have aided in the formatting, design elements, and supplementary content, making the
resources engaging and user-friendly.
