I have three adult sons. One is a carpenter, one is a soldier, and one is a teacher. All three of them went through an apprenticeship of sorts.
Only one wasn’t paid for his time. Not only was he not paid, but he paid in for the work he performed.
Guess which one?

Writing your ITT assignments
I’ve had the genuine pleasure of marking ITT assignments for a couple of years now and am currently studying myself, so am in the position to be both giving and receiving regular feedback at Master’s level. As such, I see a lot of common mistakes made by ITT students whilst writing their assignments – and probably make many myself too.
