Be ready to pause the video at various points as instructed by the narrator. Remember it starts with a kind of “Five-a-day” to get your brain working. He’s quite quick to move on but you’ll need to show some independence and resilience here. Do not just watch the video passively through without engaging – you have the option to go back and see it again if you’re not sure. Please make sure you do that if you are unsure. You will need pen and paper.
