Notes
Please use time in between contact time to get through your work – i.e.
there is homework.

Make time to READ through your material and UNDERSTAND what

is required of you.

MANAGE YOUR TIME well by using a diary or digital calendar and

keep yourself accountable so you do not fall behind. Enlist the help of
your parents if needed for time management.

Due dates have been generated according to your term planner and
forecasted contact time.

Ask for help where you do not understand.

When tempted to use a shortcut, please be careful that you do not leave
out important steps.

Have fun, learn and grow through this creative process.
