That's how I am planning it, as well Julie. As long as the students do OK
in January, then it will work well.
I won't actually start the coursework until after the BUS4 exam in January.
I am hoping that they will be more motivated by then to get it sorted over
4-5 months than if I tried to "drip-feed" it from earler in the Year.
Cheers,
David
