We have changed Intervention…
What you said… What we have done… We want to choose what to revise… We have given you detailed options (see the timetable). We are worried about missing stuff – as there are so many options and we can’t go to all! We have given you a specific area on the website to access revision resources that you might miss.
8
It is now EXAM PREPARATION…
This means that there is an 8 week plan and you get to choose where you go. Each subject has included on the timetable what they are doing and when. The timetable is here.
9
So, what do you now…? Have a look at the timetable (on the website/copies with your tutors). Prioritise what YOU need to go to and sort out YOUR plan. Check the ‘Department Revision Materials’ on our secure website for any missed materials.
