Lots of assignments are being written at the moment, so there is no better time to use the really valuable resources available here to perfect those skills and produce the best piece of work that you can. Spending extra time on these initial assignments really pays off as, if you do it right at the beginning, you'll go from strength to strength as the semester and years progress.
Manage your time well and remember to speak to your lecturers if you are worried about any of your modules. They have lots of great advice.
Enjoy the week!
