Choose TWO letters, A-E. What TWO things does Howard suggest Joanne to do in the first month of tutorials? A see her tutor every

Howard:  So you see your tutorials start next week.
Joanne:  Yeah.
Howard: Well, the first month was crucial. You’ve got to meet your tutor and decide your focus, but don’t become too dependent on him. You know you don’t see him every week, only when you want to check something.
Joanne:  Right.
Howard: Once you got the focus, you’ve got to get reading. It’s helpful to look through the bibliographies for all the course modules relating to your topic and get hold of any books you think you’ll need.
Joanne: I haven’t got much money.
Howard: I mean get the books from the library, far better.
Joanne: And I suppose I should prepare a detailed outline of the chapters.
Howard: Yeah, absolutely. But don’t feel you have to follow it slavishly. It’s meant to be flexible.
Joanne: Okay. Now I’m someone who likes to get writing quickly. I can’t just sit and read for a month.
Howard: Not like me then. But if that’s what suits you, you know, your natural approach, then you want to start immediately and write the first chapter.
Joanne: Right.
Howard: Now, Joanne. About the library, it’s not worthwhile getting on good terms with the staff; they aren’t always helpful with undergraduates.
Joanne: I suppose they focus on post-grads more.
Howard: Maybe. But show them you are serious about wanting to do good work.
Joanne: And what if I can’t find what I need?
Howard: Well, there’re inter-library loans.
Joanne:  Borrowing books from the other libraries. But I’ve heard it isn’t all that reliable.
Howard: Hmm, you’re right, but you probably won’t need it anyway, be positive! The library is likely to have most things you need, and during the dissertation writing period, you can take out 15 instead of the usual 10 books.
Joanne:  Should I look at previous years’ dissertations?
Howard: You can do.
Joanne:  But I don’t know which are the good ones.
Howard:   The library only keeps the best, and the staff can advise you.
Joanne:  Are they willing to do that?
Howard: Oh yeah!
Joanne:  And I’m worried about getting journal articles from the electronic library.
Howard: Well, have you tried to find any yet?
Joanne:  No.
Howard: Well you should; it’s really straightforward. Joanne:  That’s obviously something I’ll have to look into. Howard: Dr. Peterson will help.
Joanne:  Yeah, I know I can go to him if I have any worries.
Howard: Except he will be away in the second month. It’s the holidays. You should ask him what to do while he’s away.
Joanne:  Gosh yeah, but I suppose I can get a lot of support from a couple of people who are thinking of doing the same topic as me.
Howard: Take care, collaboration can become dependency! I think you’d better see how it works out, what the people are like.
Joanne:  You’re probably right. About the reading, I suppose Dr. Peterson would recommend plenty of articles to get me started.
Howard: One thing I would find out is what his attitude is to internet sources.
Joanne:  Surely not in this day and age. I’d better get that sorted out right at the beginning.
Howard:  I would if I were you.
Joanne:  And I’ve also got some questions about the research sections. How much time should I spend explaining the process?
Howard: Well, I think that’s up to you. You can see how it develops as you’re writing.
Joanne:  Okay.
Howard: It’s the same with things like time management. That’s something a tutor can’t really help you with.
Joanne:  I agree.
Howard:  So is there anything else you need me to go over?
