 = highly independent  = Getting there. Well done.  = Some positives but improvement vital  = Major cause for concern

 Probably means different things to different people.  Ultimately, it is about being in control of your own learning - you being self-motivated, self-organised, seeking support, finding out, trying to improve, not waiting for others to do things for you.  Independence is a learned skill - it is something you can improve with effort.

BEING IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN LEARNING Your UCAS application

What you might consider a large class would be viewed as a seminar group at many universities. It is likely you will be in class counted in the hundreds e.g. 100 to 600 students. You will not have easy access to individual support as you might find in a sixth form

 You will need to be able to organise yourself.  Research for yourself.  Find resources for yourself when all the key books are already signed out of the library by your colleagues.  Read textbooks and try to understand them, rather than relying, as some do now, on others to decode them for you in class eg by your teacher.

 You need to demonstrate you have independent learning skills throughout Year 12 / Lower Sixth.  By Year 13, it is too late, your subject references are likely to be already written.

 Ensure that you have demonstrated that you can:  Organise your folder  Bring equipment to class  Ask questions  Persevere when reading a hard text book  Know the specification  Read around the subject eg. read magazines eg. Economics Review for your subject  Hand in work to deadlines

 Which areas of independent learning do you think you can demonstrate well?  Which areas do you need to improve?
