Tell me about it. It'd be like wearing a laptop on your finger.

Hence being Mr Cheapskate that I am I will be going for the silver ring and the silver cufflinks which are around £60 a set I think maybe £70-ish which although not cheap certainly a whole lot cheaper than £700.

Unless of course all of you, my wonderful OU TSR buddies are willing to chip into the GG Fund and purchase me the gold one as a graduation gift.....please? :wink:

OK I'll settle for a tapestry or scarf..........teddy bear?.......fine then don't expect anything from me on your birthday or wedding day!

I want more than one term out of you before I start donating anything! :biggrin:

More than one term? I've condensed the equivalent a final year of a bachelor's programme in the space of less than 6 months. After this I need a holiday!

Some questions from me:

I notice that some are studying 2 modules at once. How difficult is this? There are no 60 point L2 maths modules that I'm interested in doing; so need to look at 2 30 point courses.

According to www.ouw.co.uk you can order the course materials and self-teach without taking exams, submitting TMAs, etc. Is it worth it? I want to study a language; but really don't want to pay for another degree. (currently studying a BSc Open Degree)


I looked at that for Maths and I dont see that you get everything like if you were actually registered for it. Some as for MS221 are just videos. Some you get all the unit block. I might buy some in the future

Do you get penalised for not having enough words?

Yeah, you lose marks is under or over by 10% - which is pretty standard across the board when it comes to full essay assignments.

I wondered why a lot of the people I work with can't express a thought in less than a million words:tongue:

So I got 100% for iCMA44 for K101, not a big deal as there are only 5 questions long, nothing to do with the actual module (IMO) and just reading a graph. They have all been along the same lines and I personally find them pointless and I'd like something challenging
