Checkpoint 3...dun dun duuuuun!!
So for the past week ( or 2) I've been trying to get myself to start checkpoint 3 and then I find myself on chalkboard instead or researching Vietnam ( interessted in doing the next internship).
I think I have a mental block against Checkpoint 3 as I've read so many posts regarding it and how difficult it is. :(
But today I just have to suck it up and get going - this course isn't going to finish itself you know!
Wish me luck!!

Hi AlixM09,
Thanx so much for the motivation! It's completely true, positive mental attitude is key!
I think it's the same when I was a student and before exams, I would find any excuse not to study...for example all of a sudden it was the most important thing in the world to sort out my closets or springclean my room...which just adds more stress, where as when you just dive into it, you actually feel much calmer ! why do we do that?! or is it just me...? ;)
Thanx again! :)
ps, sorry for my crap typing skills! just goes to show any bloody monkey can do it!
I wish everybody would stop being so bloody negative on this site sometimes.. this si the cause of your problem! You haven't even started the checkpoint and you've got in a totally negative frame of mind - which will make it much harder than it really is! It's easy peasy, some of did it when this site didn't even exist and we were just on our own, and that probably helped.
Of course you can do it! Thoussands of other people have done it so why not you? You'll be fine, POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE is what you need - be methodical, answer the questions as they're asked and don't overcomplicate things. If there's something in your assignment you're nervous about, include a note about it to the tutor and then they will be know that you are aware of the issue, and can give you useful, targetted feedback, from which you will learn
This course helps you to understand the problems your students face, as you too have to deal with ambiguous questions, uncertainty and doubt. The advantage you ahve is three cracks at it, so don't stress, all the information you need is given, and there's plenty more on the web if you want it. You can always do the grammar module first, I did and it helped lots.
