by halves

When we say someone [doesn’t do things by halves] we mean they do things thoroughly or extravagantly:

When used, it means:

  • [a colleague who writes a report] She write a thorough and detail report and misses no details.
  • [a famous person who throws a party] Everything is done to make it the best possible
  • [a teacher] she prepares everything for her class before the event, anticipates what may go wrong and plans for this, and is organised with note taking and report writing.
Our online courses and modules are designed with you in mind:

  • flexible: you have busy lives, so our courses fit your schedule
  • practical: we use everyday examples and situations to help you understand
  • practice: there is only one way to improve; mistakes are there to help us learn
  • support: a personal mentor works with you
