hi ladies,
can I join you?
I am studying my first OU course, U101 - Design Thinking for the 21st Century. Hoping to get a BA in Design and Innovation. I've had 3 TMAS; the first I got 83; and the 2nd I got 94.... waiting on the results from this one and then have another 2 before the course ends in October.
My next course is definitely AA100 The Arts Past and Present - I'm all registered, and starting in October. I am loving the OU; and designing too.

I'm contemplating quitting this course

 

[vicki.mummy]

aww Sarah how come???

 

[Sarah10]

I literally never get time to do it, and its only a 15point course, so i should be sailing! Jayden doesn't sleep, wakes every 10 minutes sometimes 15minutes so my mind goes blank once i have to go upstairs to pick him up etc.

Can you get a hand from someone just to be around to help sort him out when you really need to get work done? I know it's so tough when they're so little xx

Welcome to the thread - and the OU survivorship!! I jest, I love it to bits and don't know what I'll be like once I don't have my lovely course book presents coming through the door once in a while!!

Am doing alright thanks hon, just one more bit to do for Wednesday's EMA and then onto the project plan and all that for my level 3 TMA - due next week nothing like a good bit of pressure to get my finger out! I'm so lucky now to have the house to myself for a couple of hours a day and an understanding OH for when I really need to get shit done!

Ah, a college thread! Just what I was looking for!! Truthfully, I'm procrastinating. I am getting my Masters degree in education with 2 concentrations. It's all online. It's all papers. I have 7 (out of 20) papers left for the last class of this semester (due June 26) and I am just bored and can't concentrate!!! After this class I only have 2 more and I'll be totally done!!! But not even that is pushing me!!! ARGH!!!!!!

Sorry, can i butt in?
Im registering for BA History, going to start off with The arts past and present course in october and i was wondering how long does it take you ladies to finish a 60 point module? I just want to know what to expect time-wise. Also, does any of you get financial help?

Hi there,
I'm doing that course starting in October, i'm doing a BA in Design. The courses are scheduled so for that course you start in October and finish in June - it's quite a lot of work but you can pick it up when you have the time. For this course there is quite a bit of reading too - so obvs you can take that on the go too. I get financial help - what advice do you need on that? Good Luck x

i got my grade through this morning and I got....... 91!!!! I am so happy; it's a little less than the last TMA but we had alot more work to do ourselves this time...... so a 91 is brilliant. I know where I went wrong and I can see it too - but I am starting to accept that my written pieces are strong - I have had full grades on all of them.

Wow well done!!!!!!

I got my TMA02 score through for my level 3 the environmental web, 74% I haven't had above 90 since S103 at those scores you aren't going wrong at all hon! It's just a shame level 1 grades don't count towards our degree class at the end lol.

My tutor gives us very good feedback so we can see where we have gone a bit off!! I'm very happy with my grade. Well done on your's too that's a great grade!! It is a shame that level 1 doesn't count towards the degree class - my next course is another level 1 - i had the option to do it at the end of my degree or now, and I figured I want to climb the ladder and stay there so I'm doing it now.
I meant to say I'm from Fife
