Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

I am planning on finishing a degree I started 10 years ago . In order to carry over the most credit points, I'll be aiming for an Open Degree. Has anyone done this/is anyone doing this? I am most unnerved as I have to study level 3 courses to finish the degree, but seem to have forgotten how to write an essay. Ooh 'eck! Oh, and just to make iot extra ridiculous, I'm going straight in to study philosophy, despite never studying it before. The course starts in January, so I am currently trying to teach myself philosophy to degree level.

 

I'm mad, aren't I?

Yes!!!!! but I wish you lots of luck with it

My son has just started an AS Philosophy course, and that is completely mind-boggling, though we are having some, erm, interesting conversations around the dinner table. I dread to think what 3rd year degree level would be like!

I have been studying for an open degree for many years. So far I've done Intro to the Humanities, a technological history of the development of cities and a German course. It's going to take many, many more years to complete. I'm getting the urge to do another course at the moment and I'm very interested in some courses at the Museum of London.

Oh, good luck! Sure you'll be fine once you get back into the swing of things

 

I considered studying with OU a couple of years ago but just couldn't dedicate the time required so never quite got around to it. I am about to sign up to do an online AAT Accounting course (not through OU) and am quite nervous about it! Luckily work are funding a large chunk of it

ME!!

 

I have just registered to do a Level 3 course in Early Years that starts in February.

 

I have recently completed my Foundation Degree in Early Years with University of Derby and had wanted to top it up to a BA at Northampton but that would mean one day a week out of the classroom and my head was not able to allow that, so I have chosen the OU but want to do an Open Degree as half of the Early Years Level 3 course has an exam and I can not face that

 

Good luck.

Ive just done two courses with the OU and I'm just moving into "proper uni". I loved studying with the OU though it was really hard. Your brave to be jumping into level threes, though tbh i was bored stiff during the level one i had to do. It was too easy and no thinking was required at all. Could just have been the course i was doing though. Good luck

I completed a Psychology degree through the OU a few years ago. I already had a degree, so was able to use the points towards this, but did the foundation course in Social Sciences anyway to get me back into the studying mentality.

 

It was hard work with a full time job, especially when the assignments were due (my social life went out of the window then!) but I got into the routine. I made friends, and had a great time at the Summer Schools. It took me 5 years and was a relief when it was over, but I'm glad I persevered.

 

Good luck!!!

Just signed up for beginners Spanish with the OU and local evening classes to help with the conversation side. I'd like to do the open BA and thought I'd do a Level 1 course first to see if I can hack academic as well as work life. The joy of the open BA to me is that you can pick whatever units you're interested in rather than having to follow a set course.

 

Also work is paying for the OU mentoring course. It doesn't count towards a degree but, as well as being useful, it may help in job-hunting if I end up losing out to council downsizing - it's a certified update to my soft skills that may help me stand out from the crowd. Thought I'd grab it now before the axe falls ...

 

Good luck to all of us !
