Having been in full time education until I was 21 years of age, I can honestly say I have had plenty of experience in completing coursework. It is often set at the beginning of a term and should be handed in near the end, but this does not mean you should forget about it until [...]
I think we have established that getting a good education means that people can give themselves a better start in life. However, there is help out there for people who perhaps did not enjoy school and therefore did not achieve the results they were capable of the first time round.

I can’t stress this enough I would have really appreciated help as it’s the getting started that’s the worse bit.
