MMM 12 April

Everything is different this week because of testing - if you missed MMM, check in with your advisor about which days you are taking tests. When you are not testing, you’ll be in modules as usual (see below).
 
Testing can be a difficult process, but remember that it’s just a progress check along your educational journey. Make the most of it and don’t be too hard on yourself.
