Re: not coping

Hey @outlander , I’m sorry to hear stressful things are for you at the moment. It’s good to hear you are being communicated to though. Silence can be even harder.

As hard as it is, can you find something to occupy yourself while you wait? It might help the time pass faster. Hope you hear soon.

Re: not coping

That can be so stressful too @outlander . I remember when I was studying, I always had a subconscious stress…I knew it was subconscious because although I didn’t “feel” it, I dreamt it which means it’s always at the back of my mind.

I hope your teachers are helpful. I found my teachers were always ready and willing to help - after all, they want the students to pass?

Sitting with you, especially tonight.

Re: not coping

yeah for sure @tyme its always at the back of my mind. this course is way to intense for tafe though. 2 assignments a week and at 27 or more pages each seems abit excessive. its only suppose to be a 20 hours a week committment but it takes me that long to do one assignment sometimes!

the teacher hasnt been helpful so far, a few of my work collegues have this qualification but through another company so has given some advice here and there.
im not even sure if my last 10 assignments are done properly cause no assignments have come back even after 2 months so i have no idea where i stand.

Re: not coping

That does sound intense @outlander ! I hope you will have some answers soon. I'm wondering if there is a head co-ordinator you can speak to or something.

It would be good to have a bit of an idea of how you are going in your assignments. I always wanted an exemplar because I wasn't sure if I was writing too much/too little, or completely off track!

I hope you get some answers soon! (Maybe after the Easter break or ANZAC day).... who knows?

Re: not coping

maybe, i could send an email @tyme and ask if theres someone else instead of this teacher while shes absent.
exactly, i havent had any assignments at all left even though they said up to 10 days per assignment to be returned. 3 months and still have had one done yet.

have to do some work stuff now anyway so itll give my brain a break from studying i guess
