So today I took the opportunity to have a ‘Hang out’ 1:1 with my new tutor, Les Monaghan.
Having only spoken with my last tutor once, I was determined to start off making time to do this for this and subsequent courses and I’m so glad I have. Les seemed really nice and was able to give me some no nonsense advice right from the get go.
He is more than happy for me to work at my own pace and submit my assignments once I have met the brief and they are ready for discussion. He doesn’t want me to think about them as a finished piece of work at the time they are presented to him. In fact he felt that the real work starts after we have had the chance to discuss the work and then it can be reworked and amended as necessary. For me this is great, but it takes the pressure off it having to be perfect first time.
So now to crack on and really get going on this course. I have set myself a first deadline of submitting Assignment 1 by the end of October
