Current Task

If you get lost, don't worry. You have my email and I will do my best to keep this page updated with the current task. Some people will move naturally faster or slower though, so don't worry if you have already completed the task shown on this page.

Tests

How do I know how I'm doing?

Most of the units are completed by portfolio work - this means you can get feedback on your work and try again if you make any mistakes.

However, a few of the units have formal assessments (Tests) Where you have a certain amount of time to complete some questions without any help. You will know in plenty of time when these are coming up, and we will do lot's of practice to get you ready
