    Which questions did you do? I managed to blag my way through, but one question especially was mostly things I'm sure I'd made up, and I couldn't remember many names to put in either :mad:

    There are restrictions on double counting modules for obvious reasons. You'll have to ask an OU adviser about it.

    I did national identity, the one about the relationship between caregivers and infants, as I had read through it on the bus so remembered slightly more about it, and autism, which admittedly I hadn't done much for. The most I am expecting is scraping a pass, but at least if I resit I won't have to pay for the module again, as it's compulsory for my degree.

    I've switched modules. I dropped the two healthcare modules in favour of two other business modules. Still need to look at the material et al and we start soon eek!
