How you study
Without leaving your job or home you
can study, write and submit assignments, receive expert guidance from
your CeFiMS tutor and advice from the student support team. In
addition to printed study materials, the Online Study Centre
allows students to work with course materials, send queries to tutors
and submit assignments via the Internet.
When you take a CeFiMS distance
learning course you will be sent everything you need to complete your
studies. A typical set of course learning materials would include:
- Core text.
All courses centre on a specially written core text analogous to a
series of lectures.
- Textbooks and
collections of readings. Most courses
also include one or more textbooks and a collection of recent or
classic articles of importance to the subject.
- Study calendar.
Students are provided with a study calendar for each course which
sets out the schedule for your coursework and assignment deadlines.
- Student handbook.
Contains advice on how to tackle assignments and written
examinations. There is also a 'Study Skills' textbook and an audio
CD offering suggestions on distance learning.
