First time studying since school & I'm completely lost

Marie

I am studying the level 5 diploma & attended my first workshop 5RST at the end of May; since then Ive been swallowed in the busy world of work, children & life. My first assignment is due to be submitted on 5th July & I havent even started.  Honestly, I think Ive put it off because Im scared. I left school well over 20 years ago & never attended uni or anything so quite simply put I have no idea where to start. I dont know how to write an assignment or reference (although I think the latter isnt really an issue) It just feels like an absolute mine field.  Having worked at HR BP & HRM levels for over 8 years its not that I dont understand the content its just working out how to put it all into the correct context. My career to date has been one of a very hands on generalist & analysis of data etc has been restricted to internal requirements so comparing labour trend markets right now just fries my brain. 

Is there anyone who can offer some guidance, tips, tricks, advice or a miracle??

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Marie,
    I think most people covered it but I was the same, I'm just completing the cert and the best thing that helped me was just type everything you want out,as someone else said in bullet points. As you go through each point look up your lecture notes and add key words or look up a website to help you with the point and save it in the document to go back too. Once you have it all down you will realize you're half way there.

    The fear of doing it can really paralyze your mind, well for me it did, but just writing points will help. You've got the experience so try not to worry the first one is always the hardest, you got this!
