Monday Musings!

Not doing any studying today. Not feeling too well.


Updated my diary to include online classes. 


Yesterday, I emailed Samantha, covering the difficulties I'm having with studying poetry. Here is her response:

"My advice would be to perhaps slow down a little to give yourself good time to take in, reflect on, and also appreciate what you're learning in the module material. 

Do build in those strategies in your learning and approach to the different works of poetry that we discussed in our last tutorial. 

Also, as previously touched on, there really is no need to go outwith the course as regards seeking other learning resources (other than Stella Cotterill's Study Skills Handbook as I recommended), although embedding study skills is well-taught throughout the module."
