Re: Studying support
i will definently have a look into it @fluffylight
i find breaking down tasks helpful, completing one section at a time and sometimes doing the easy tasks first benefical. sometimes i break it into easy task then harder task then easy so it feels like i actually get somewhere with my assignments

Re: Studying support
Oh!! This is a good idea. @outlander Breaking it into easy-hard-easy.
Sometimes my assignments go nowhere and I spend hours just being distracted and staring at the screen 😐

Re: Studying support
@outlander Congrats on getting through that - that sounds like an awful amount of work.

Re: Studying support
honestly it wasnt to hard it was just time consuming and has so much fluffing around in it for workplace stuff @fluffylight if all of the stuff was straight to the point it probably wouldve only been around 30 pages and most of it was just ticking stuff off that i have completed in the workplace for the prac stuff

Re: Studying support
Oh that's good @outlander
Yes I did a Tafe course in Individual Support that had the same sort of fluffing around needed for workplace - I'm glad that's over.

Yes! @outlander for my Individual Support course I had to do 3 weeks of placement and a lot of ticking and fluffing around with the work given.
