Comments - Passed my first checkpoint!

Best thing to do have a harddrive that you keep everything on.  Easier to keep with you. :)

Hi,


Funny, no sooner had I wrote the post the feedback came through lol. I am downloading all pdf's to my laptop which, if I am lucky enough, will be coming with me should when I get a job.


catch up soon :)


 

The tutors are supposed to get back to you within 48 hours of submission.  If they do not, contact the HELP line that is listed in your portal. 


The grammar is tedious but it's not bad.  If you're trying to get through the course within a certain time, I'd suggest downloading all of the PDFs throughout the course.  Get through the exercises and course work at as fast of a pace as you wish and then go back through the PDFs to refresh and make sure you absorbed it all.  That way you can get the course done, and seriously take time getting through things.  This allows you time to research specifics if you wish. Or if you're like me, an American going off to teach in an Eastern European school that uses British English, this allows you to research differences and such.


Good luck to you both!!

Hi Ashley


I've been working on this today during quiet periods at work:


Nouns & Adjectives done....I was going to have a quiet night tonight but I think I might just slope off for a beer after that.


Have a good weekend :)

Hi there!


If I remember right, it took about two days to get the answers back from the tutor; so you should probably be hearing from them any day now. :)


I've been studying the grammar a lot this past week; it's pretty slow because I really want to absorb it and memorize it; instead of rushing. (But I really wanted to try & finish the course by the end of this month). So, we'll see!


 


Good luck to you too! :)

Hi Ash,


How long did it take to get the mark back from the tutor, I've waiting since Wednesday evening and its now Friday 15:00 hrs here in the UK. 


I guess I'm just on edge to get through the course as quickly as possible in order to try and get a job outside of the UK....


I know exactly what you mean about grammar though done 5 exercises so far today and for something that we use everyday and comes so naturally to us, there is a lot of new stuff to be learned.


Good luck with the course  :)

Where are your headaches located? 

Thanks! :)


I'd love to know what you did for your headaches; I get them all the time. I think it's connected to my back though; I get these knots and it drives me crazy. I'm not really sure what to do.

Congrats sweetie!! I know you were a little nervous about it. Do you do anything for the headaches? I used to get them all the time to but I used to do a few things to help them ease or go away completely.  Since I've been here in Serbia though I don't really get them anymore come to think of it..... kinda weird...
