I'm starting on a Natural Science Degree in October on the first S104 module. Anybody in the South West (Gloucestershire, Herefordshire) starting too?

Am also from Bristol and planning to start this in October. I've read up on some accounts of the course and it seems previously people had to complete iCMAs, TMAs and an EMA to complete this course. Now the OU website states that it contains 6 TMAs and an examination. It's this examination that's causing me worry!

Out of interest kjglen24, did you have an examination at the end of the course, and if so, how was it?

Best of luck all :smile:

I had iCMA's TMA's and an exam.... I was the first year to do an exam

Not going to lie the exam is not easy but it does allow you specialise a little.... If you need help though let me know!! Where in Bristol are you?

Hi, for anyone doing S104 Exploring Science I did it a few years back. I did a detailed Blog post detailing all the books and TMA's etc.The page is http://www.myopenuniversitylife.co.uk/the-story-of-s104-exploring-science/ Hope this help.

thank you! :smile:

I'm thinking of taking S104 next year. I've studied some science before and I've looked at the course books, but it would be really helpful to look at the TMA booklet to see the style and level of the questions.Is anyone able to send me the pdf of this year's TMA booklet, or a previous year's?

You can send it to me here or via my regular e-mail address: [email protected]

Thanks!
