Just a quick one to parallel the critical synthesis....
10 things i learnt about being a student that might help me next time
1. look at all the resources including podcasts and vidcasts and welcomes to the subject early!!
2. read the assessments in fine detail before staring the readings
3. check the announcements page regularly
4. read early, often and ahead of the suggested schedule
5. thoroughly check out the library resources for the subject
6. keep up to date with the forum - especially the assignment ones (except when they end up clouding issues that previously seemed quite clear)
7. don't have a week of rest after the first assignment is handed in (it's much harder to get back into the work habits than you may think)
8. allow more time for reading and source gathering (as it takes longer than essay writing)
9. do your references in APA format as you go
10. everything takes longer once family work and long commutes are added in (and kids have a habit of getting sick and babysitting elders of going on holidays at VERY inconvenient times) so start early!!
and i guess i should add ... keep up the blog!
