- 9. “An independent learner is someone who has found out enough about their subject requirements and their lecturers' expectations so that they can plan their study effectively. It doesn't mean you can't ask for help, or that you are expected to know what to do the whole time. It does mean that you can draw on criteria for your decision-making, like how much reading you should do for a topic; what questions to ask; whether to spend another hour studying before bed.”
