Managing Childrens Behaviour

'Student Comment'
Managing children’s Behaviour is my second course with UK Open Learning. My First course was Starting a Child Day Care Business. Both courses were very interesting and I would like to acknowledge the professional way in which Allison Lee who was my tutor handled the queries. She was very swift with reply, whenever an email is sent to her and was very quick in marking assignments and giving guidelines and suggestions and her praise when I did well in my assignments with comment like 'An excellent answer –well done! 'Constance' Makes me feel like she knows me personally. Been a student studying from outside the UK, I did not feel for once that I was a foreign student. I would recommend open learning to anyone that wants to study with them to give it a try,
you will not regret it. Constance (Netherlands)
