DS wants to study Maths at uni. All AS grades including Maths and FM are A; so far so good.
We are going to Southampton open day this Saturday. This will be a first time experience for both of us. There is a lot for DS on the autistic spectrum to take in, with the crowds and all the excitement it might be difficult to separate the message from the “noise”.
The main issue for DS is whether he will cope well with the course, the teaching style and especially assessments, as well as whether he will cope with the environment. But this is very intricate, I am not sure it is easy to judge from the mega marketing event that I imagine open days to be. How do you know without any prior experience whether the course is right for you or you are right for the course, where the underwater rocks are? Not to mention my fear that DS’s first instinct might be to take cover from the crowds and not being able to appreciate the positives.
So I would appreciate some pointers as to what to look for, where to focus, whom to talk to as a priority, and what questions to ask.
I know some questions should be about the course modules and assessment methods, but I am afraid even for me the answers might not mean much
