Thanks so much for all those links! - The reading list I have didn't include any of these books, yet they appear sooo much easier to understand than the highbrow ones i actually shelved out for!!
Will now get my nose into some serious reading! Thanks!!!!

Hi, dont know if i'm abit late to join you all, I started the DPP in september at evening class and am attempting the assignment for unit 1 which is my frst assignment, I am really struggling, i have a heap of books but have no idea really what is expected of me in the assignment..... like levels of detail and i have read on this post about word count? but we have not been told anything about word count
lol i'm stressed if anyone has any advice on this one i'd apreciate it although it look like you are all on unit 3
Thanks x

Hi small small,
its never too late to join in! Try not to get stressed, I know that is easy to say and your first assignment is bad cos you are worried if you are on the right track. Definately read the cache assignment guidance and the document called 'finding the level'. I have found that the amount of detail is realy restricted by the word count which is 3500 words

Hopefully you will have been given the above documents but if not you will find them helpful

Just shout if you need anything else.
