Nursery World - Diary of an Early Childhood Studies Student, 2: Coursework Coursework

Kezia Thurgood-Parkes completes a first year at Sheffield Hallam, talks assignments...and being thrown in at the deep end

I can’t believe I’ve nearly finished my first year!

It’s been a busy time since my first blog. I’ve written several assignments and received the results: I got 72%, 68% and 50%. Thankfully, they were all passes and overall came to a solid 2:1. I was very happy with my first two results but my last one really disappointed me. It was more to do with the fact I really tried and still came out with quite a low percentage. However, when I spoke to different members of staff, I realised where I got confused – though there were still some areas that didn’t add up.
