Hi Physco - Just to add if you log on to your course website, the calendar is on there too. Tick off and make sure you have everything in your parcel.

Thanks guys...

I actually had a proper proper look yesterday and have filled in the dates on timetable, the first week of which I already completed when I got the stuff. I then started looking at the book, and it has activities at the end of the chapters which now make sense to me... I was just sort of wondering where the hell it all fitted in and how I knew if I was learning (if that makes sense??!)

It's just my usual trick of worrying over not a lot!!

Things seem to be moving very fast:j I've received a short courses registration form for the Human genetics course so have filled that in as well as the financial assistance form and today I have just received confirmation of my place on you and your money and a financial assistance form for that. Just waiting for diabetes care and understanding cancer. I'm so excited and scared at the same time:D

Currently studying L194 Portales Beginners Spanish and am due to start M150 Data, Computing and information in Feb next year!! Been and bought my digital voice recorder and headset thingies today so I can do my oral exmas over the PC!! How high tec is that!! Makes a change from standing in some dodgy old broom cupboard at school doing GCSE's 13 (!) years ago!!! hehe!!

I'm currently a single mum of two little ones aged 5 and 3, so am making the most of not being at work!! And improving my mind and CV at the same time!! hehe!! I've got the courses paid for as I'm on IS, but are there other grants available too? I've applied for the computer grant of £255, but not heard anything yet.

Hope to get to know you all better soon!!

Hi Gerturdeanna,

Welcome to the thread :-)

How are you finding Portales? I was tempted to try it, but wasn't sure how I would get on with accents etc on my own!

I used to live in Spain psycho, so I know a bit of how to pronoue stuff etc, but you get CD's that you listen to and repeat!!

Hi, I am having a few issues here. I have previously done 2 Open Uni courses and how I passed I don;t know as if you asked me a question now I wouldn't have a clue. My current courses, I have followed all the material from the start and I am lost totally, may as well not even bother reading the material as I do not have a notion. However I pass as its quite simple all the answers are in the material supplied, I am not actually learning anything. I wonder of anyone else is similar?

hi Nirelandguy, what course are you doing?

Can you give your tutor a ring to see if he/she can help you out? Or if there aren't available try regional office or HO in Milton Keynes they are always very helpful if i ever need any information.

Hi, I think half the problem is I got an E in GCSE English, 99% of the material is wrote in fancy language which I do not have a clue about, If It was wrote in bog standard English I might stand a chance. Below is my latest TMA mark, which for someone who does not have a clue isn't to bad, Now if you asked me a question about a subject in the TMA now I would not have a clue
