Hello,
I have a BEng (Hons) degree in Aerospace Engineering, which I completed in 2012, and in October of 2018 decided to do a part-time distance learning Master's Degree to further my personal and professional development. So far it's been okay and I've averaged a distinction on the first two modules that I've taken.
However, I'm now on my third module and the instructions for the assessment of this module is extremely vague, the module tutor is new and has completely ignored my e-mails to the point where I've had to put a formal complaint in about him, and there is absolutely zero guidance on how to complete the assessment, nor any examples of previous answers or templates, etc. The reason I like maths / physics / engineering, etc. is because I like that there are [usually] clear instructions on what exactly is expected, but I've no idea how to do this assignment that is due to be submitted on the 13th January. I'm finding it extremely difficult and stressful, and as I'm not officially diagnosed with ASD yet, I can't go to the University and request additional support or guidance (I don't think).
I've spoken to other students who are also finding it extremely difficult, but I feel like my ASD is making it severely worse for me. I'm getting anxious and paranoid about it, losing sleep, frequently on the verge of panic attacks and still haven't actually started the assignment yet because I have no idea how to go about doing it.
Any advice please?
