Submitting your tarot course assignments
One tarot card at a time
Please only work on the assignments for one tarot
card at a time and wait for the assignments for that card to be
graded before moving onto the next tarot card.

Take your time
Take care not to rush through the assignments.
The more time you spend with each individual tarot card, the more
you will absorb the information and understand the interpretations
for each card.

Spelling and grammar
Part of the course involves doing email readings
for clients. These clients are real people who will expect their
readings to presented in a professional manner.
If you do become a professional reader you will
probably do email readings for paying clients. Those clients will
expect you to present yourself in a professional manner and the
emails you send out should not be full of misspelt words and bad
grammar. Hence the reason I try to get my students into the habit
of using a spell checker before they submit their assignments.
If you get into the habit from the start you are never going to
send out a reading that is less than professionally presented.
If someone really does have problems with spelling
I will always make every effort to help them. Not everyone has
had a first class education and they shouldn't let that stop them
from reading or trying to improve their spelling.
We have students from all over the world whose
first language is not English - I've seen some pretty hilarious
translations over the years - so obviously they also need help
with their spelling and grammar.

Minimum word count
For each assignment there is a minimum word count
of 100. This isn't as much as it might seem
- for example the two paragraphs above contain 76 words.
There is also a maximum word count
of 200 for each assignment. You must be able to get your point
across without repeating yourself or being too verbose.

Assignment grades
Your tutor grades all submitted assignments once
a day. Tarot course assignments submitted on Saturday and Sunday
will be graded on Monday.
You will recieve an automatic email from the system
to inform you when your assignments have been graded.
Your tutor will also leave any comments they think
are necessary about your assignments. If there are no comments,
don't worry - it just means your tutor didn't think any were necessary.
If you get a low grade, your tutor will arrange
to have a chat with you to find out where your understanding of
the card or assignment failed. Then you can go back and redo the
assignment so that it can be regraded.
* * * * * * * * * *
Re-submitting assignments
If you didn't get the grade you expected you can
edit your work and re-submit your assignments.
Your tutor will always indicate where you need
to make changes to your assignments and give you as much help as
is needed.

Contacting your tutor
Your tutor is available via the online messaging
system which is accessible from the home page of the course you
are taking. Messages sent via the online system are instantly emailed
to your tutor.
You can also use email, MSN (details given on
joining a course) and the chat
rooms to talk to your tutor. There are links on each
of the courses to enable students access to the chat rooms.

WARNING: Use
your own wording
Although this is a complete course in itself and
you should not need books to study the course we understand that
sometimes students use books and the internet to research the tarot
cards.
However, we must point out that when submitting
your assignments you MUST use your own wording. Copying from another
source is plagerism and not only immoral but illegal.
Anyone found to be using
another persons/authors/websites wording when submitting their
assignments will be thrown off the course as we cannot and will
not be seen to be condoning plagerism. This
note has been put here due to the fact that a previous student
did indeed submit assignments that were a direct copy of a famous
tarotists book.
