9. “An independent learner is someone who has found
out enough about their subject requirements and
their lecturers' expectations so that they can plan
their study effectively. It doesn't mean you can't
ask for help, or that you are expected to know what
to do the whole time. It does mean that you can
draw on criteria for your decision-making, like how
much reading you should do for a topic; what
questions to ask; whether to spend another hour
studying before bed.”
