Some study tips
Let's look at some basic tips for studying. Please remember we all study
in our own way and at our own pace. If you are starting to get stuck or
fall behind this bit is for you. You could also check out the section
on Michelle
Dewey's site which deals with study tips.

- Ask for help.
- If you are struggling to fit everything in concentrate on doing only
what you need to do - not everything that you want to do!
-
Relax and take a break. Worrying
about it won't fix it but thinking about it usually will.
-
Use the conferencing facilities
- even the action of writing a problem in a message can help clear
the blockage.
-
Ring another student and
chat about what you are stuck on.
-
Ring your tutor
(Not at 2am) and ask for help.
-
Ring your Counsellor.(Not
at 2am)
-
Ring Study Support at your
