    Hey Rain Maker :hello:

    I'm also starting MST121 in a couple of week, they say you should spend approx 8 per week per 30 point course.

    How are you doing with the prep assignment?

    Keep an eye on your student homepage for when the course website opens - it has pdf copies of all the course materials including the assignments, so even if your parcel hasn't arrived you can use the online stuff to get started.

    Hi all - do you mind if I join you? I have been doing an openings course since November and due to start a Level 1 course in Feb.

    I am working full time with 2 little uns who are 3 and 5 so have been spending plenty of late nights studying - such fun!

    Have a phone tutorial on Monday so going to finish off getting ready for that tonight and tomorrow night.

    hi - can I join in too - I'm due to start an OU course in Feb, AA100, I'm currently studying A178 leonardo da Vinci and I'm having a nightmare with it, I'm by no means thick but but I can't work out how to put in the references etc, and I feel like crying this evening - can anyone offer me any advice/books/websites to have a look at to help me? I've got my 1200 work TMA due in 2 weeks time for this course and the topic is so vague I feel like giving up!

    With the course material pack there should have been a Contents Check List. If the study calendar is listed on that (Qty 1), it should be in the pack - a single-sided A3 sheet, folded in half to match the A4 material.

    If it's not there, you can contact them to get a copy. Otherwise it will be available from your student homepage.
