[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 95953, member: 7481"] I will keep posting for current LPC students as long as it is still useful. [B]Now on the Hub:[/B] 1. New document this week - important information for students sitting the drafting assessment in January (the only non-proctored Jan. exam) - this is a new email on the Announcements section giving information about that exam. It also tells you where to find the 15 Dec Briefing Sheet for this exam - a pdf under BLP module tile on "drafting summative assessment" and there is also a word doc there which is the format for the answer booklet for the drafting assessment. 2. A list of student numbers with the 3 electives the student has chosen against them. Eg my twin sons are both on there and their numbers show the correct elective choices for them - they are doing the same choices so hopefully can get into the same group to make travel easier etc. I believe the elective teaching starts around 25 March after the end of Jan to then post exam Skills part of the course. 3.
