A Good Tutorial!

Visible to anyone in the world

The Tutorial last night was excellent with Tutor Mary. She talked to us about time management, and how we can make the most of the study time we are able to find. I especially liked the Pomodoro technique (timed slots), which we were able to try out in the tutorial for practise.

 For 20 minutes we had to be silent and focus, concentrating on a certain task,  so I decided to do note taking, I also  concentrated on the TMA guidance notes. I was able to expand upon this for 20 minutes. At the end I was surprised how quickly the time had passed and that I had wrote 2 full pages of expanded notes!  

We came back together and talked about this for a while and then did some brain storming, with lots of great studying tips for writing an essay. I felt really inspired! 

There was then another 20 mins given us,  to write about the study techniques we will be trying out. I was very impressed and couldn't wait to try it out at home. All I have to do now is to find a spare 20 minutes!

I will now be setting my alarm clock very early in the morning! lol! 🕖
