I think i did, cant remember now, I'm on EMA time atm
Work have just put a ban on me doing uni work at my desk between calls - they haven't yet realised that I dont always need a pad and pen - I have the access I need to the OU site
But I am not going back to the college which registered me for the course. I am going somewhere else.
and I have not yet recieved my username or password for the student hub
I'm doing that one now. Are you aiming for October or January finish? Also, from what I've already read, the first few chapters are basically the AS/A2 syllabus, so it'll be really useful to you. I really wish I'd done this one last summer on YASS, but I didn't have the time alongside work experience.
Just registered on Introducing Health Sciences (SDK125) yesterday, waiting for that one to go through.

O'rly?
How do you find it. The start date was 1st September and I got my materials this afternoon , which strikes me as odd.
Bet you are playing with the Mollymods now eh?
Good because I would appreciate something to make that A at Chemistry that little bit easier. Studying for Chem is a bitch! Especially when your aim is an A at AS and A* for Overall A Level.
Introducing Health Care? What is that one like? Do you want a degree at the end and if so , which one?
It is almost like Christmas when your books arrive isn't it!
Love your avatar btw!
It is!
Given the fact that I was panicking about finding a College to redo my AS Levels ..... I forgot completely about it but thought I was gonna just settle for an OU degree straight off and skip A Levels.
So happy it all worked out in the end. I may just sneak the odd cheeky module in I suppose.
I will just go on until I leave Sixth Form , whether or not it is explicitly YASS or not tbh. I do it not only for my career choice but the challenge, fun and experience to be honest.
Are you with the OU? What do you study/hope to achieve?

It depends when you registered. If you registered right before the closing date, your materials wouldn't have been despatched until the start date or maybe even after that. All the instructions should be on the sheet that came with your book and molymods: if you sign onto your StudentHome, there will be a box with the module title in, with links like Module Website and Assessment. Go on module website, then there's a section with links titled EMA or assessment or something similar (there's also a Practice EMA link), and there should be the questions for both October and January on the page from the EMA link. (I hope that's what you meant by how do you find it. )
I'm liking it so far, mostly because I feel less like I'm sat at home doing nothing while everyone else is at college/uni, although I don't envy you doing A level Chemistry, I've done my share of A levels now, got the grades I needed!
When the molymods arrived, it was like Christmas. I haven't properly broken mine in yet, they're still really difficult to put together and take apart.
Introducing Health Sciences is the compulsory module for the Certificate in Health Sciences. It looked interesting, and I thought why not because I have a gap year to fill. There a few different modules I liked the look of, and they all would count towards the certificate so I'm going for it. (Not that I can get the CertHE because that's tied to an employer, but never mind. If I have time in future I could use the points from the certificate and do an Open CertHE for fun.)
I'm reapplying for Vet Med. I was going to ask what you're aiming for but I just checked from your profile. (Possibly army medic? I'm interested in army vet, but I need to get into uni first. ) Not all of the topics are directly related for me as they will be for you, but it's all public health and biochemistry and things so it's useful in the long run just for the concepts.
got a tma due on tuesday and ive barely started =/ eek. really need to get organised otherwise a. ill fail my exam b. ill do bad in dd101 and c. i wont be able to start u213 in feb
Can anyone explain to me how individual modules (OCAS and OES) are being graded? Above 85% for both OCAS and OES is a distinction. But where does 2:1 start?

Would be grateful for any help.
Evening
Your final grade will be the lowest of the two. So distinction for OCAS and 2:2 for OES = 2:2 for example.
> = 85 a first 70 - 84 is a 2:1 55 - 69 is a 2:2 40-54 is a pass < 40% is a fail
It's possible to be bumped up if you're a few percent off though.
Thank you for your reply. I know the classification you've just submitted Actually, that's why I am confused. Because when I use Assessment Calculator (StudentHome) to predict my results it says basically that if I get less than 70% on OES I'll get a grade 3. And according to the above classification that should be 2:2. It looks that:
> = 85 a first 70 -84 is just 2 (the calculator doesn't show 2:1 or 2:2) 69 - 54 is a 3
