Secrets to Successful Study 5

Your Anatomy Study Schedule All done for you! 6

e. g. Skin homework – simply fill in the gaps using the Louise Tucker book – the homework follows the book Where do you get the answers from? The Louise Tucker Book says: The epidermis is the layer of skin that we can see. It varies in thickness depending on the part of the body It is thickest on the soles of the feet and thinnest on eyelids etc 7

Regular Tests (and answers!) ITEC style ITEC Exam will be 50 multiple choice questions Plenty of exam style tests for you to practice with! Test after each system and also throughout the course, testing on past systems covered so you don’t forget them 8

Example of a test with answers! You keep these in your file – in the skin section – ready for revision! 9

How much time to study? • At least 2 hours per week • If you attended a weekly class of 2 hours, you would expect to do homework and revise in between? • Distance learning means you can fit the study in around your schedule - early morning/late evening/lunchtime? But it has to be done sometime. . . 10

OK so 2 hours per week. . • With 13 body systems – that is 13 weeks • Study two systems per week and you get it done doubly quickly – take longer and it takes longer to finish – it’s really as simple as that to work out. Mock exam at the end • When can you take the real exam? As soon as you are ready – 1 week’s notice (nb Massage students take same week as practical exam) 11

What are these ‘body systems’? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Cells Skin, Hair, Nails Skeletal Muscular Circulatory Lymph Nervous 8. Endocrine 9. Nervous 10. Reproductive 11. Digestive 12. Respiratory 13. Urinary 12

ITEC e-learning too, click 13

Optional Class-Based Booster Sessions available • Held monthly • Thurs evenings • 4 sessions cover the course • £ 25 per class for Distance Learners 15

Feedback: • Thanks so much for your emails it’s great to get so much encouragement. As it is for everyone life is hectic but I am really determined to get this virtually completed before the reflexology course starts. I am just about to start the cardiovascular system, the muscular system was hard in that there were so much to try and remember but all I can do is to keep revising it. I have the colouring book which is great and the games are so helpful especially if you need to relax it a bit, but all in all its a great course and made as easy as possible for us to understand (thankfully!) 16

more student’s comments • Thanks for the email, I seem to be doing fine with the anatomy, I am following your guidance and it seems to be working!! so a big thank you, I am now starting skin chapter, I will contact you as soon as things aren't sinking in or I feel swamped under, but so far its fine, thanks. 17

What help is there if I get stuck? • Jackie is always available by email, face time, skype or come for a 1 -1 • Monthly Booster sessions, covering 3 systems all in one go – 2 hour session for £ 25 (if you are doing this as part of a course then it is without cost as it comes as part of the course!) 18

Exam • 50 question multiple choice. (Like who wants to be a millionaire) • The tests given on the student area and the tests on the e learning system are all typical exam questions so you will have plenty to revise with! • 1 hour given – more if you are dyslexic • 5 questions on most systems, only 2 or 3 on some 19
