3. “This Individual Learning Profile is designed to help both you and us understand how confident you feel about the skills you need to study. Each one of you will have a totally different profile as how confident you feel is an individual thing, there are no right or wrong answers. The questions are about the general skills we know you need to reach your potential in your studies”. “This is not a test, The questions are asking about how confident you feel. Please answer honestly, as this will help us try to provide support for you.” July 2002

4. Some issues raised from the University-wide ILP It’s not a diagnostic tool Sometimes confidence is mis-placed! Students don’t know our expectations We can’t turn around the ILP’s quick enough How do we support students at risk? This is too early and daunting in Welcome Week I want this related to the subject context
