IOP Open degree

Is anyone here studying towards an institute of physics accredited degree, as in doing the physics modules they have approved? I started S104 last october, got about half way through, then was unsure about the route I was taking. (I stated in the welcome thread I am still torn between english and physics.) The only concern I have with the physics is the lack of contact between people who are also studying the same as you, and considering it's quite a difficult subject, this bothers me. I realise the OU provides online forums, but you still can only discuss so much without catching a mods attention, as they are quite wary of cheating. Does anyone else feel like this? :confused:
