OU - Exploring Psychology - anyone done it recently?

[GreenEggsAndSpam]

If so, could you give me the low-down on how much time you needed to study, how hard it was, anything really , so I can hear first hand what it was like?
I am scared about taking the plunge and biting off more than I can chew. I do have a degree, but it was unrelated, a long time ago, and I fear my analytical brain has degenearetd somewhat since the fog of children.
If anyone is selling the books I'd be interested in buying them too, so I can have a look before I sign up .
Note - I am interested in the negatives and the positives
Ta!

akhems, I should ring them.

maybe if you registered towards the closing date there's a delay in processing you?

it was right on the closing date.. cos I'm such a numpty i forgot to post it, lol

I think I'll give it til next week and see what happens, but I'm so impatient, I want to seeeee!!!! lol

I think I'm just going to see how this pans out as I started it once before then got pregnant

How's the reading going?
Hi Akhems!

So there's a few of us doing it...

Muppetgirl
Cocodrillo
akhems
Greeneggs
ihearthuckabees
docket

Shall we do a separate thread as we are now doing the course (or am I just getting to carried away with excitement?)

fraid I have to bow out.. it seems my application got there a couple of days after the deadline so they aren't accepting it

enjoy everyone!

Sorry to hear that Akhems.
You could always look for a replacement course starting Jan or Feb, I've got my eye on the Child Development course, ED209.

I think a new thread could be good, MuppetGirl. We can use it for moral support as the workload gets heavier, EEK!

So sorry Akhems

here's a new thread

yeah they said in the letter that this course also starts in feb.. I'm gutted tho.. been crying all afternoon

good luck all of you and hopefully I'll join you later ;)

I'm so sorry .

What are you looking to do? A first degree or a conversion?
