Reassuring to read how difficult everyone is finding this course. I have the same problem with knowing how much to write. I'm doing it online and I wouldn't recommend this method to anyone as the assessor seems to be a lot less supportive than those attached to college students. I always understand the content but the questions are so ambiguous it's as if it's intended to set us up to fail :( Why do assessors also seem to think that to explain the question in plain English is like helping us to cheat? Seriously, don't do this course online, unless you have a personal recommendation about the support you'll receive.
The assessed tasks for this unit started with, "Write a brief statement for each criteria...." Then continued with statements which start with words like, "explain" and "analyse", so never going to be 'brief'! Everyone raves about the Heinemann textbook and it is useful in translating what might be required from the headings. Better than a crystal ball anyhow!
I find this forum invaluable and the above pointers are such a help!
THANKS A MILLION SILKY STEPS!

Reason: sounded bit rude!
