How you study
Without leaving your
job or home you can study, write and submit assignments, receive
expert guidance from your CeFiMS tutor and advice from the student
support team. In addition to printed study materials, the
Online Study Centre allows students to work with course
materials, send queries to tutors and submit assignments via the
Internet.
When you take a
CeFiMS distance learning course you will be sent everything you need
to complete your studies. A typical set of course learning materials
would include:
-
Core
text. All courses centre on a
specially written core text analogous to a series of lectures.
-
Textbooks and collections of readings.
Most courses also include one or more textbooks and a collection of
recent or classic articles of importance to the subject.
-
Study
calendar. Students are provided with
a study calendar for each course which sets out the schedule for
your coursework and assignment deadlines.
-
Student handbook. Contains advice on
how to tackle assignments and written examinations. There is also a
'Study Skills' textbook and an audio CD offering suggestions on
distance learning.
