Management and Time
We strongly advise you to manage and check your study time carefully. You must find what your goals are, find strong and weak points, consider the context in which you will be studying and generate a broad strategy for successfully covering the material and completing the course.
While looking through requirements of every task or study chapter, you estimate the situation, workload and home responsibilities in the relevant study period, and then develop specific realistic plans for active study and writing.
You might also want to set yourself targets for:
1. the time needed to finish the concrete task;
2. the amount of work that must be done in a week or a month;
3. progress through the modules or units, bearing in mind your other responsibilities and tasks;
4. costs needed to cover all the expenses.
You should plan and monitor what you do, and where necessary, act to improve the process, quantity and quality of your work. You should make decisions about the importance you will attach to tasks, the time you choose to allocate to them, and sequence in which you will do them.
There are different ways of study. So we do not expect that all students will approach their studies in the same way, in a way we prescribe, or in an over-planned manner. We will advise and assist you to manage your study and be disciplined about how you do it.
