New student-TU100 October 2011.

Hey Alison, welcome to the thread dude Glad to hear you're looking forward to the course like the rest of us. You planning on going for a full degree with the OU?

Keep in touch and if I can help with anything feel free to ask. All the best with your studies!

Thanks BBB, Yes I am planning on a full degree. what about you?

Alison

I received confirmation of 2 passes today (seperate 10 point short science courses) and so was so happy with the world of OU, that I have bit the bullet and signed up for TU100 (February start).

I have only done 10 pointers before so will be interesting to see how a 60 point course compares!

And I am looking forward to seeing how you early birds get on with the course!

Hi everyone!

I'm starting the TU100 course in February 2012 (was too late to get onto the October 2011 ) I'm really excited about it but February seems like an age away! Really want to get started (or at least well prepared). Is there anyone out there that has either finished the course or currently studying it that could suggest any reading material or study topics that I could get my teeth into over the next few months that would be relevant to the course?

I've asked the same of the OU but not had a reply yet. I've got a ton of computer-related books but haven't a clue where to start!

Hi mate, welcome to the thread As far as I'm aware this October is the first run for TU100 (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) so there isn't much available on it yet. However, if all goes well I should have my study materials very shortly, so once I've given them a good going over I'll be happy to send you through some suggestions. Well done for registering and all the best with your studies pal keep in touch and feel free to ask if I can help.

Hey Ecotex, there is some overlap between TU100 and the discontinued modules T175 and M150. Both of these courses have modules that can be studied for free on the OU openlearn platform. Also from tomorrow the Sense software can be downloaded by non students at sense.open.ac.uk.

Hey BBB,

I have enrolled on the TU100 module commencing 1st october 2011. Really excited and cant wait to get started. I too am looking to work towards BSc Hons maybe a joint degree....

Have you received your study material yet? x

OK everybody I have received my course materials this morning.
The senseboard is a lot smaller than I had imagined and the accompanying booklets are quite weighty but everything looks very interesting and I am looking forward to having a better look at it all this evening. Go us!!! LOL

I'm so jealous of you all starting in October!!!!!!

I know you're gonna have your hands full getting your head around all the info, but if you get a chance it'd be great if you could give any pointers to those of us starting in February about study topics / suggested readings etc. Particularly from the beginning of the course?

Hope things go well for you!

Good news Rob! Hopefully I should be getting mine today as well.... that is if the Yodel fellow hasn't already been while I was out
