Give up distance learning and start again?

Hi All,

I’m a very, very mature student. I’ve been studying my Level 5 Diploma in HRM via distance learning and have found it incredibly challenging. I miss the interaction and discussions with others. I’m not one for social media and perhaps this might have made a difference. UThis is my foray into forums etc. having recently replied to a post by another member.

I didn’t go to college or university and the language the assignments use is confusing and I also don’t recognise  the elements of my job that would be applicable. For example I didn’t think I used negotiating, influencing or persuading skills in my role. I’m a HR Advisor!

I’ve completed some of the assignments but not submitted as their not submission ready.

I’m thinking of quitting the distance learning and starting again but this time going to college.

Am I mad?

I’ve recently be signposted to the ‘Nutshells/Nutcases’ books.

Can anyone suggest any other books/guides that might help me with answering the assignment questions?

All feedback gratefully received.

Lisa
