The course doesn't officially start until 1st March (a very different birthday gift for me!) but I am already deep into study and I am enjoying it a lot. I have looked at the timetable and realised TMA 01 is based on the chapters I have already read. I have decided there is no harm in planning out the TMA at this stage and maybe writing it out in draft.
But I am assuming that I am on the right track and that my tutor isn't going to have anything that useful to say to me at this stage. Am I being a bit arrogant? No I dont think so. Although I haven't done any formal study or essay writing for over 20 years, as a pharmacist I am ALWAYS studying . I have a professional obligation to keep my knowledge up to date so reading scientific papers is something I do regularly. But I haven't written a formal essay since September 1988. It is the essay writing I am worried about. I feel it wont hurt to get things drafted out early before I talk to my tutor. I can always alter things if I feel I need to once I have spoken to her.
Lets be honest I am scared about this first TMA. I want to have plenty of time to get it right. I need to prove to myself I can still do it as much as prove to my tutor.
I have already done a plan - and am already looking forward to going back over the relevant chapters to check my information. I know I learn best when I write things out.I do seem to be assuming the learning plan will be easy to do - and I am supposed to agree that with my tutor.
Well if I have gone wrong somewhere I have plenty of time to put it right.
Actually the next big event is first contact with my tutor - and that is something I am REALLY nervous about. I hope we get on OK.
