About to embark on L7 and would like some help Re: Study materials

Lee

Hi all,

it has been a while since I last posted however, I always find the support that I receive from these forums to be invaluable. 

I have just enrolled with Watson Martin to undertake my level 7 and I am about to get underway with my first assignment (7HR03). When it comes to referencing there are some recommended reading materials however these books do come with a significant cost. I want to avoid my assignments becoming to CIPD centric so looking for some pointers to online journals that I could access if at all possible?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Lee

    No direct experience of this kind of learning provision, but would think that all documents for essential reading should be posted specifically and separately by your tutors. CIPD Library etc Services should give you access to plenty of online journals etc. Universities etc would invariably have extensive online student access to academic journals and e-books etc that are normally behind pay walls but one disadvantage of using such as this private-sector learning provision seems to be that they probably don't - which is all the more reason for the tutors to post the material in full and for you to use CIPD Info Services to fullest extent.

    Secondhand textbooks eg via ABE can be vastly cheaper than new ones - they may not be the latest edition but be careful about crosschecking for possible updates and they should be generally adequate.

    And of course get expert at researching topics via Google etc - that can throw up all manner of relevant material!
