Getting started - Workplan

The challenge I face in undertaking this course, is that, because it is 'distance learning' with no face to face tutorials either on an individual or group basis my usual inclination of  'I can put this off until tomorrow' may prevail.

I am going to have to develop systems that will enable me to keep on track with the work required, making sure that deadlines are met.

I have produced a time table (copy below) for 'project one'. I filled in the weekly tasks by working backwards from my first assignment date to the date in September, when I would actually start the course.

This style timetable/work plan will be evaluated at the end of project one.
