i was worried about the essays, been a long time since school!!! but after the first couple they do get easier as you get to know exactely what they are after, if you see what i mean

are they having an open day where you can go and ask questions? ours does and that was really useful

I am finding things really muddling........and i'm certainly not alone.....our tutor is a bit 'airy fairy' and really confuses us all, a nightmare! I seem to be doing exactly the same things, in the same order as you did, so help!! Some courses seem to be starting at different points! I have to do a bit now about outside environments...but linking it all to the theorists.....aaarrrggghhhhh

If you need somebody to run things by I am happy to help...I know I really appreciated the advice of 123 on the other forum when I was starting my degree

hi guys! just starting the distance learning foundation degree, reading through all the handbooks and study skills that my tutor has sent and must admit feeling really scared! wondering if i've done the right thing! anyone feel the same starting out?

Yes, yes and yes again!! My mentor came to see me on Monday though and made things a bit clearer,,,,,,,and she said she felt exactly the same when she started, so I have to persevere...and anyway, i'd have to repay the fees if I gave up...!!
