Personal study plan
If part of your course is delivered online, we’ll give you a call at an arranged time when you book, to create a study plan that will keep you on track and to discuss any extra support you may need. On this call your learning support tutor will:
- Agree deadlines for course work (fitting them around any other commitments you may have)
- Help you plan for upcoming assessments
- Check that you’re able to log into the eLearning site
- Take you through the online revision materials and work templates.
Your tutor will email the study plan to you so that you know when your work and assessments need to be completed.
