Tasks
Each unit comes with a range of tasks that will provide you with valuable practice in the main ideas found in the unit. After completing a task you can refer to the feedback notes at the end of the module.
At the beginning of your course you will be assigned a personal tutor who will provide you with comprehensive and constructive feedback on your work.
