Dear students,
For most of you, this will be the first course at WOU. It
is important that you start your student life with this
course because it will show you how you can study
effectively in an open university. Some of the strategies
that you will need to use for your study will be very
different from what you did in high school.This may
make you feel anxious but do not worry. Your tutors and
I are here to help you so do keep in touch with us. We
care about your academic welfare.
Take care and happy studying
Jasmine
