NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Listen hun, I just finished a L2 course @ 60 points and half way through I hit a brick wall and really couldn't fathom out my tmas. I ended up substituting a tma out of sheer boredom.

But, I stuck the course. sat the exam in October and passed with a L2 where I expected a L3 result. :j

So chuffed all round, keep at it hun, you might just be surprised

Mid terms blues are quite normal, x

Thanks to everyone else re d101. Glad its not just me but really disappointed in the OU for the course.

Ended up substituting TMA3 because I just couldnt face it and wrote to tutor. Am going to try 4 but already I note people questioning it and its so frustrating!! If I cant get through it, will have to withdraw but am damn stubborn and really dont want to.

Ur nearly half way through it, I know its tempting to chuck the towel in (apologies feel like the pot calling the kettle black), try and work through it,ur on tma04, theres only a couple left, soon be over, xx

I feel like a moron for posting this, but does the Open University offer Masters degrees through distance learning?

I'd quite like to study something in English.

My plans have completely changed since I last posted here.

I'm now studying towards the degree in Social Sciences with Economics - I have no idea why I didn't spot this earlier as it's perfect for me! I've dropped stupid BU130, and am now startind DD202

Just on for a moan really. Doing EA300 Children's Literature this year (first presentation) and it's driving me mad. The first 3 tmas have been a struggle and I'm now about to embark on the 4th which is covering a huge breadth of material - all to be condensed into 2000 words. Have I got a clue where to begin? NO!

Ah well, it's good to know I'm not the only one suffering lol.

Good luck everyone, it'll be worth it in the end (must try and believe that....) :)

Has everyone seen the changes to using Clubcard Vouchers to pay for OU courses?

In summary, after 1st June 2010 they can only be used against level 1 courses.

That's a real pity I'm sure that opened up so many opportunities for people.
