[Yr11 Information Technology] OC3 Running out of time

[Litsa Tzelepis]

Damien, exactly the same here too.

we have exams that have to be completed obviously before reports are done 
and then there's proofreading and corrections, and then the studetns come 
back for another 2 weeks that could have been spent on outcomes.

Don't worry, do your best.
