S1.1 Making a start

S1.1.1 Introduction to the S modules
What is in the S modules study materials?
The S modules study materials include the following kinds of items:

Study notes
The study notes consist of the main written text in the modules. The study notes contain the following
kinds of information:

Introductions to ideas that are important for successful study, including doing the assignments
correctly.

Explanations and examples of the ideas.

Selected readings
These are extra reading materials that go with the study modules. Some of the readings are required
essential reading for assignments, while others are optional extra reading. The study modules will tell you
when to read a selected reading, and whether you are required to read it (required reading) it or can
choose to ignore it (optional reading).

S1.1.2 How these study modules are organised

Study notes are provided to help you understand and prepare for each assignment. They introduce you to
the ideas that you need to understand clearly before you try to do the assignment. They explain the ideas,
and provide practical examples of how the ideas are applied in the assignment work. Learning activities
are included in the study modules to help you understand and practise the ideas, and to prepare for the
assignments.
There is at least one assignment for each of the S modules except module S4. The standard assignments
for course TPP7120 are in the TPP7120 course introductory materials.
The modules include activities to help you prepare for the assignments. There is either a marking sheet or
a checklist immediately after each assignment in the course introductory material. Use the marking sheet
or checklist to make sure that you have completed the assignment correctly. There are two assignments
for this module, module S1. These are assignment S1, and assignment S2.
There is no assignment for module S3, however it is essential to study module S3 to prepare for an
assignment that is required later on (assignment S5 in module S5).

S1.1.3 What to do with the study notes in the S modules

Here are some basic instructions for what to do with the study notes in the S modules:

Read through the study notes.

Work through learning activities as you come to them in the notes.

Use the selected readings as advised in the study modules. Many of the selected readings are
optional additional reading that you can ignore if you wish. Some are required reading that are
required to be read with the study modules. The study notes will tell you which selected readings
are optional reading and which are required reading.

Write your first attempt at the assignment. Plan to finish it at least one day before the assignment
is due to be mailed. This is called your first draft of the assignment.

Check your first draft against the marking sheet or checklist for the assignment, to make sure that
you have included all essential information to the required standard.

Make any changes that are necessary to your first draft. This is your final draft.

Make a copy of your final draft to keep.

S1.1.4 Different ways of learning

There are many ways of getting information, including reading, listening, and looking at graphics
(pictures, maps, graphs and other visual illustrations).
There is no one way that is the best way for everyone.
Start with the way that best suits you.
Whichever way you start, you will have to read all of the study notes to get all the information you will
need to study this course successfully. This is because most of the information is in the study notes..

S1.1.5 Different needs for learning

The S modules provide learning materials to assist you to develop your skills in managing your study
program. These skills are essential to successful study at university. At this early stage of the course you
may or may not already have all of these skills. In any case, you will be required to show, in your S
assignments, that you can apply all of these skills to the management of your work of studying.
People differ from one another in their past experiences, knowledge and skills. It is not possible to
provide one set of learning materials that perfectly match everyones needs for learning. A large number
of optional selected readings are provided with the study material They are mentioned throughout the
study notes, so that you can decide whether or not you need the extra explanations and examples that the
optional readings provide.
You will have to decide which of the optional reading materials you need to read, and which you can
ignore. To make these decisions, when an optional selected reading is mentioned in the study notes, ask
yourself Do I already have the skills and knowledge necessary to complete the next assignment
satisfactorily? You will need to read through the assignment before you can make these decisions wisely.

In any case, you are advised to at least glance through the optional selected reading to see whether or not
you are already familiar with the ideas in it.

S1.2 Journeys to take and jobs to manage: career

and study
Does this path have a heart?
If it does, the path is good; if it doesnt, it is of no use
(Carlos Casteneda, The teaching of Don Juan.)
A person can think about life as a journey.
A student can think about study as a new job of work that the student has taken on.
Career and study as part of a persons life journey, and also as a new job, are the two major themes in
these study notes.

S1.2.1 Keeping track of your journey as a student

You are required to make some written records of your experiences in studying throughout this semester.
The records are to be kept in a journal. A journal is like a diary.
In assignment S5 you will be asked to write a lot about your experiences in studying during the semester,
including some details of particular experiences as they happened over a period of time. Assignment S5 is
referred to in module S5, which is the final module in this course. Assignment S5 is worth 18% of the
total course marks, so it is important that you complete it satisfactorily.
You will need to keep a record of your experiences in studying during the semester so that you can
complete assignment S5 satisfactorily.
Here is a list of the general points about which you are advised to make entries in your journal on at
several occasions during the semester:
Your:

general management of your study program (explained in module S3)

study processes and outcomes (explained in module S4)

learning support systems (explained in module S6).

If you want an overview of all of the points listed above, take a quick look through module S6 now.
Selected reading S1.1 (optional reading) contains information about the benefits of keeping a study
journal. Selected reading S1.2 (optional reading) provides examples of formal and informal styles of
journal entries. You can use either style or a combination of both styles.
Now work through the following learning activity S1.1.
Learning activity S1.1 provides guidance on how to start making a journal.
Learning activity S1.1

Starting your journal

Read through all of this activity before you start doing it.
This activity is not for assessment, so do not send it in.
When you have finished this activity you will have:

started making your personal study journal, and

put at least one record (entry) into it.

There are two basic ways of making a journal. These are:

a physical collection of entries written on paper (a hard copy)

an electronic copy on computer disk.

If you have regular, reliable access to a computer you can keep an

electronic journal in a folder on the hard drive or save your file to a disk.
You will need your journal for assignment S5 later on in the course, so
always make a back-up copy of the folder in an independent electronic
storage device (such as a USB drive memory stick) each time you
make a new entry in your electronic journal. Alternatively, make and keep
a print copy of each new addition to your electronic journal. Computer hard
drives do fail! Hard-drive failure will not be accepted as an excuse for
not including references to journal entries in assignment S5.
If you decide to keep an electronic journal go to the sentence starting with
Start your journal further on in this activity, now.
If you are going to make a physical journal, just read on. Get a folder in
which you could keep about 250 loose sheets of paper.
The folder should be fairly tough, because you will open and close it many
times.
You will need to be able to keep the loose sheets of paper that you will put

in the folder in order, so that you can find specific records that you have
made.
A ring-binder type of folder is useful, because you can punch holes in each
sheet and make up your journal like a book that you can easily take pages
in and out of.
A common A4 sized, plastic-covered loose-leaf binder (the size of this
sheet), as used by school children, will do. You will not be asked to send
in the folder, so it doesnt matter what it looks like.
Write something on the outside of the folder that tells you it is your study
journal, so that you can easily find it among your other bits and pieces of
study material.

Get some blank sheets of paper that will fit in your folder, and
that you can write notes on.

You can use scrap paper that is already printed on one side, for notes that
you do not have to send in for assessment.

Start your journal by writing about the main things that have
happened in your study since your study material arrived in the
mail.

Note that you will not be required to send in your journal, although you
will be required to include a few parts that you select in your assignment
S5.
At the end of this activity there are a several examples of what a journal
entry might look like. Take a look at these examples now.
Each time you put something in your journal folder, start by writing down
the date and time.
The date and time will help you to make sense of your records later on. It is
easy to forget exactly when you put something into your journal.
Each time you put a new record, such as some notes, into your journal,
number the sheets of the previous record, next to the date and time. For
example, if there are two sheets in your journal marked 24 February, 7.00
PM, write p. 1 beside the date and time on the first sheet, and p. 2 beside
the date and time on the second sheet. The first page might be marked like
this:
20 February, 7.00 pm p. 1 The personal notes that you put in your diary are
private to you, so you are free to write whatever you choose.
Here are some suggestions about the kinds of things you might include in
your notes:

What happened.

How you felt about what happened.

Your thoughts about why the thing happened.

Your ideas about what you could learn from what happened.

What you intend to do about it (if anything).

Some people like to write as if they were talking to someone, or writing a

letter to a personal friend (an informal style).
Some people prefer to write in a more organised way, perhaps using a set of
headings (a formal style).
There is an example of each of these two styles in selected reading S1.2
(optional reading).
Sometimes you might want to write in an informal style, and at other times
in a formal style. The style you choose at a particular time will probably
depend on what you want to write about.
Some people like to keep a list of what is in their journal, to make things
easy to find when the journal starts to get big (a list of contents).
To make a list of contents, keep a few sheets with ruled lines at the start of
your journal. Use these sheets to make an ongoing list of the contents of
your journal. Write a short description of each entry, with the date of entry
and the page numbers it is on, each time you put something new in your
journal.

Make a record in your journal of what has happened in your study,

at least once each week.

Entries made each time you study, and whenever something happens that is
important to you in your study, will be of more use to you than entries you
put in weeks after the events.
End of learning activity S1.1.

S1.3 Planning for the long term: career planning

S1.3.1 A new stage of your life journey begins

Thinking about your life as a journey can be helpful to you while you are a student. Some of the things
you need to think about when you are a student are much the same as things you need to think about when
you are on a journey. These things include where you want to get to, how you will get there, what you
will need for your journey, and how you will know if you are getting there.
Your career is a very important part of your life journey.
Most mature-age people study so that they can take a particular direction in which they want to go on
their life journey. As we shall see, a career does not always have to mean a persons paid employment.
No-one is given the map to their dream
All we can do is to trace it
Know where we go to, see where weve been
Build up the courage to face it
(From The One-Way Donkey Ride, a song written by Sandy Denny)
On any journey to a new place people think about where they want to finish up.
A person can judge progress on a journey by thinking about the following things:

How far the person has come already.

What the journey has been like so far.

Where the person wants to get to now.

How far the person still has to go.

What the pathway ahead will be like.

This information can give the person some ideas about how best to complete the journey.
Where have you been, where are you now, and where are you going?
Assignment S1 is about career planning. Assignment S1 is the first assignment in course TPP7120 and
is available in the introductory material.
Career planning is part of the long-term management of your study. If you want some information
about career planning, and some views on whether career planning can be of benefit to you, read selected
reading S1.3 (optional reading). Selected reading S1.3 also provides some background information about
the changes people often experience in their careers.

Students work in assignment S1 is assessed by a career counsellor, who will offer feedback about it with
the returned assignment. The career counsellor can also be contacted by enrolled students through USQ
Student Services for further advice about their career planning (not available to OCW students).
The first thing that you are asked to do in assignment S1 is to write a few sentences about where you have
been in your career so far, where you are now, and where you are thinking of going in the future. This can
be done by completing Learning activity S1.2 in these notes.

Note

Here is a message for people who view this course as OpenCourseWare and who may want
to formally enrol as a USQ student in course TPP7120 within the next two semesters:
I advise you to create a folder labelled <TPP7120 assignment materials> on your computer
hard disk. In this folder, keep a copy of all files of assignment work which you complete in
studying TPP7120 OCW courses. Keep an up-to-date back-up copy of the folder and its
contents in an electronic storage device separate from your computer (e.g. a USB drive, or
memory stick). You may want to enrol in TPP7120 after studying the courses as OCW. If
you have kept a copy of the assignment work you will be able to submit it for assessment if
you enrol in the course within the next two semesters.
Learning activity S1.2 (OCW version)

When you have finished this activity you will have:

thought about what is meant by a career, and about the development of your career
written a brief summary of where you have been in your career, where you may want to
get to in your career in the future, and steps that you may take to get from where you are
now in your career path to where you may want to be at some future time.

End of Learning activity S1.2. (OCW version).

S1.3.2 Vocational self-assessment

How well are you equipped for the journey ahead?

In completing this course you will carry out part of a vocational self assessment.
A vocational self assessment is a way of finding out the things about yourself that may be important for
your choice of your future career and how you might best journey on towards that career.
From now on these things about yourself will be called personal characteristics. If you want to read
more about what is meant by personal characteristics, go to selected reading S1.4 (optional reading).
In Learning activity S1.3 (OCW version), which comes next after these notes, you are asked to explore
some of the different kinds of personal characteristics that might have some bearing on your choice of
your future career. If you complete Learning activity S1.3 you will have completed part of assignment S1.
Learning activity S1.3 provides you with an opportunity to assess some of your career-related
characteristics.
The information that you get from completing Learning activity S1.3 builds into a picture of what you
will be taking along with you on your career management journey. The picture is called a vocational
profile.
You will be able to discover the kind of career traveller that you are. When you have a clear picture of the
kind of traveller you are, you will be equipped to make wise decisions about the future career journey to
take.
Your decisions about your future career are likely to be improved through the self knowledge that you
will get from vocational self assessment.
Learning activity S1.3 (OCW version)

When you have finished this activity you will have:

identified some of your career-related personal characteristics, and kept an electronic of

your findings
examined some suggested career types and occupations which seem to match your
career-related personal characteristics, and kept an electronic record of this information

End of Learning activity S1.3. (OCW version).

S1.3.3 Constraints: things that get in your way!

It is likely that you have already experienced, and will experience in the future, some things that hold up
your progress on your career journey. These things are called constraints. The causes of constraints are
called factors.
Some constraints are within you. These are caused by internal factors. Examples of internal factors
include lack of essential skills, low motivation to succeed, and false negative beliefs about the self such as
I cannot do . . . and Ill never be any good at . . . There is more information about internal factors and
how to deal with them in module S3.
An external factor is something outside of your self, unlike your personal characteristics that are part of
(inside) your self.
What external factors might hold you back or get in your way, on your career journey?
The following two general sorts of factors can interfere with your progress through your career journey:

Factors that cause your progress to be held back or slowed down. These are called difficulties.
Factors that cause a complete blockage of your pathway. These are called obstacles.

Here are some examples of external difficulties:

Remote location (geographic difficulty, for example in obtaining library materials or contacting
teaching staff).
Lack of money to pay for study or training (financial difficulty, for example in paying tuition fees
or associated costs of studying).

Here are some examples of external obstacles:

Relationships that prevent you from achieving your own goals (personal obstacles, for example an
obligation to provide full-time care for young children, that leaves no time to study).
Lack of employment opportunity because of low employer demand for the type of job you have
chosen (opportunity obstacle, for example you cannot pursue your chosen career because there are
no suitable positions available).

Learning activity S1.4 (OCW version)

When you have finished this activity you will have:

o
o

written a brief summary of the external difficulties and obstacles which you see
in your career path at the present time,
completed the third and final part of TPP7120 assignment S1.
1.

Open a new word processor document filer. Name the file <Worksheet S1.3>

2.

Type in the following heading in your new document named <Worksheet S1.3>:

Worksheet S1.3 (OCW version)

Save the document in your folder <TPP7120 assignment S1> (see Learning
activity S1.2)
4.
Obtain some large pieces of scrap material that you can write and draw on, and
something with which you can do large writing and drawing.
3.

Examples of suitable scrap material are clean used plain wrapping paper, and cardboard
cartons turned inside-out. Poster pens and crayons are examples of something suitable to
write and draw with.
On a piece of the scrap material, write or draw ideas that come to your mind as
you think about the external things in your life that are slowing you down or getting in
your way. Include:
i.
words that describe the idea, for example money or family
responsibilities
5.

ii.

rough drawings of any images that come to your mind, for example stick
figures of people pulling you backwards, or standing in your way

iii.

signs or symbols that go with the idea. Here are a few examples of what I
mean by signs and symbols:

Road signs, such as Stop, Traffic Hazard Ahead, and signs that
are around public places, such as No entry, Caution Slippery Floor,
and so on.

Symbols such as those used to mean no dogs or no smoking, or

school crossing, and so on.

You can make up your own signs and symbols, of course.

Try putting together the words, drawings, signs and symbols that seem to go
together. For example you could group all the holding back things together, and all the
get in the way things together. You could also group things in other ways such as
6.

finances, family, where I live, and so on.

The type of study activity that you have just completed is called individual
brainstorming. It can be a helpful way of learning when you are trying to answer an
unfamiliar question or solve an unfamiliar problem.
In your new document called <Worksheet S1.3>, write a sentence about each
