Anxiety Focus Reflection

Our experience of administering the assessment over two semesters during 2013 indicates that the students engage fully with it, enjoy doing so and uniformly demonstrate a high level of achievement

… assisting me each step of the way to formulate and complete the assignment The online tutorial helps because it forms a guideline which we can understand and play and rewind if we didn’t quite understand a concept… I would recommend a continuation of the online tutorials particularly for those who …. on some days are unable to attend tutorials because an unexpected circumstance occurred

How could you apply the ISP model to your work context? Group activity – 6-7 minutes
