@RNLDJasmine It’s all about counting the hours, not so much what you have achieved in the hours so far accumulated- unfortunately

Bad old DPD parcel delivery, not sure how a delivery can have been missed with someone in the house? No note through the letter box to say they even tried and supposedly no neighbour in they could have left it with. I wonder where driver Arron actually tried to deliver to??

Assessment Tip 9c: use your literature searching skills to find what you need to keep reading focused, use library guides (Teesside’s Subject LibGuides are great) and don’t forget our helpful and knowledgeable Librarians #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

Assessment Tip 9 (I know I’ve left it a few days!) Focus your reading, carefully select and target your reading to cover each necessary area. You need to read plenty but not everything! #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

Tip 8c: make use of other resources - study guides, HE skills books and websites. Find some that work for you and help you with what you need, there are masses out there #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

Tip 8b: make use of wider support available where you study, for example Teesside University’s Learning Hub has some great resources and support #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

Tip 8a: make use of a tutorial discussion, you could talk through a plan of your work, check if it is on the right track and get pointers for improvements #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

[Paul Taylor @paul3stoli]

Assessment Tip 8: use available support to check the guidance that is available, ask questions when you have time with your tutors to clarify anything you are unclear about #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

[Paul Taylor @paul3stoli]

Tip 7c: if you do break the assessment down and work on separate parts - make sure the elements build back up again logically, make sense and meet the assessment criteria #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

[Paul Taylor @paul3stoli]

Tip 7b: breaking the assessment down makes it easier to make progress on a piece at a time, even in short time slots #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

[Paul Taylor @paul3stoli]

Tip7a: breaking an assessment down helps to make the whole task less worrying and daunting #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

Assessment Tip 7: break down an assessment into a series of stages of different components this can help to ensure you fully understand what is needed/expected. #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

[Paul Taylor @paul3stoli]

Tip 6c - like any sat nav or guide book you want your assignments to be accurate and well informed (nobody likes getting lost) make use of wide reading/references to inform and support your work #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student

[Paul Taylor @paul3stoli]

Tip 6b - alternative routes (arguments and perspectives) need to be clearly identified, possibly critiqued, compared and considered to show your understanding of what they can contribute #HEstudyskills #studentskills #student
