If I did lessons with you last year, do I have to register again?
Yes, you have to register again because classes this year are on different days and times and I need to know what class you want to attend this year. Please do not simply show up expecting that there will be a place for you.


Can I change my day after I have registered?
Not a problem but you need to send an email first so as to ensure that there is room in the class you want to switch to.


If I can't come to class on my chosen day, can I go to another class?
Again, not a problem. In Caribbean Studies, new topics begin on Mondays and the same topic is done in every class for the week. Unfortunately, if you attend class on Saturday and miss that class, you will not have the opportunity to attend another class unless you have planned beforehand. In Communication Studies, in the first instance, we spend six weeks on each Module but new passages are studied each week, beginning with the Tuesday class.


What happens if too many people register for a particular class?
I keep a daily check on numbers and let people know when a class is becoming full and when registration is closed for a particular class. I try to keep classes between 20 and 25 students. In my experience, students learn as much from each other as from me so it is helpful to have a pool of students. Individual progress is monitored through the weekly essay and weekly multiple choice papers.


Will classes cover the topics being done in school?
Classes cover the entire syllabus in numerical order switching weekly between Modules One and Two. Every school uses a different method so classes will not follow the pattern used by your teacher. It is possible to get help with work assigned by your teacher but that has to be done on an individual basis through email.


Can I get help with my I.A.? 
Absolutely but this has to be done on an individual basis since every school (and sometimes every teacher within a school) has a different interpretation of the requirements of the IA. I can offer suggestions but, ultimately, your teacher has the final say. I will occasionally spend some time in class on issues surrounding the I.A since it counts for 40% of the mark.; the first class (in the week of 16th September) deals with the I.A.


Do you give notes?
Every student gets a binder of notes at the first class. The binder is purchased for $200 and is added to each week. I also hope to have sections added to this website with additional notes which will be available to students.


Will I get the notes if I miss a class?
Yes but it is your responsibility to collect the notes at the start of the very next class you attend. I cannot walk around with copies of notes from classes three or four weeks old. 


Can I purchase a binder if I am not attending lessons?
No, the binder is only available to students attending either lessons or the Revision Course.

​
I got a binder from a friend of mine who was in a previous class. Can I use this?
Yes, although some notes may have been revised.
