Studying independently

Independent study means taking control of your own learning.

Effective independent learners are able to identify:

• what they want to learn
• the best ways to learn
• how to show that they have learnt

Independent study includes:

• quiet, personal time 
• working with someone else to encourage each other and talk through difficulties
  • If you have a problem, explaining it to someone else can help clarify issues for you
