The 'Introductory Assignment' or Unit 0 has been designed to develop your understanding of **how to plan, start, structure and finish** an assignment. It is perhaps the most important Unit you will study here at Tauntons College. For some of you, it will determin whether or not you will be accepted on the course, and for all of you, it will help build your future academic foundations.

The staff have posted support information on the Assignments page, showing you how to set your target grades, how to start and finish assignments. It provides definitions of all the key terms and highly effective planning documents. If you are looking to developing your **learning power** then take ten minutes to look over the Accelerated Learning page.

If you are in need of human contact, then visit the Study Skills Team, they are there to make 'good students, better,' and even consult with the second year students who have been primed to help you. 1188822278
