YAY! got my course materials - but OMG what have I done???

[davidtennantsmistress]

lol. it all come thru today no more little miss no future today's the start of it all. (have already been proactive n emailed off a load of new friends (hopefully) on netmums) and also my open university course stuff has come today!

YAY!!! i'm officially a student again! but it looks so daunting, and it's only the very basic short course - how will I cope with the next levelled stuff?

will do this thou - onwards n upwards, for mine & ds's financial future I need to do this.

[Tinkerbel6]

yaye well done, what course are you doing ?

[davidtennantsmistress]

y162 starting with mathematics, then hopefully in sept the mt121 one with a view to a degree next sept & basically being a maths teacher at the end of it all. will be good to get the old brain into gear again!

Well done DTM

I'm doing Y158 and Y160 openings courses too.
I make sure I pick up the books every night and have a read through. Still not heard off my tutor though.

Good luck!

you to po - when do your courses start - mine aren't meant to till the end of the month - but might give it a go early - think i'll need all the help I can get after 10 years! lol.

[Fillyjonk]

oh i did the mt121

its pretty good, and easy enough (I got 96% overall )

there is a diagnostic test on their site also if you need it

best of luck!

my tutor was great

but the one for the course BEFORE was just HORRIBLE (it was the open mathematics, can't remember code)

he knew I had 2 kids and another on the way and so couldn't do bloody evening tutorials at 8pm

I was getting +85% on TMAs

he used to send me snidey emails along the lines of "I do hope you will make it a new years resolution to remember the time of the tutorials and come"

I was truly delighted to get a distinction on that course, i can tell you

[davidtennantsmistress]

oh no don't say that! I need to ring them and decide on which one to do - I had wanted to do them both together but apparently I can't?

what did you go onto do after?

[fransmom]

good for you dtm
got to dash sorry, meant to be doing college work not mn

[Fillyjonk]

really?

i did them together

open maths and using maths iirc

most ou tutors are lovely! if you needed to you could ask to change, i think. I really didn't need anything from him, so i just let him go.

[Tippychick]

yay dtm, good on ya.

I got an unconditional offer after my interview for my degree course yesterday so I'm happy too. And a wee bit daunted but am sure we'll take to student life with ease. Are you coming to the union for a (virtual) subsidised pint and roll-up DTM?

[davidtennantsmistress]

filly I need to give them a call as I say.

tiuppy yep i'll come down - show me that bar! lol.

started the text books and so far so good, looks good finding it intresting, am now armed with pencils & paper so ready to go!
