I've just pulled back from a part time course I've been doing for the last 3 years. I'm in my final year, and have had a life changing event occur. It's not bad, but I've got tons of stuff to do suddenly, and I feel completely overwhelmed. My tutor, who runs the school, has accepted that I need to pull back for a bit, and possibly resit some days and put my finals back a year.
The school are being ratified by the authority who issues the official qualification we are working towards. The tutor is pressuring me to do a project ('not much work' apparently), otherwise the school won't get ratified. I already have miles too much to do and too much stress, to take on anything, even if it's 'not much work'. It's still work.
I just need to get them to accept my 'no', and if the school is then not able to offer the qualification, I think I should be entitled to my money back for the course. Surely the responsibility can't be on me, the over-whelmed, over-stressed, almost-dropping-out student, to keep the school open?
I've said 'no' more than once and explained why. Anybody got any suggestions about what more I can do? I'm feeing harassed.
