Re: Open University Chat ThreadHi, i'm starting DD101 in October. From reading on the website, the preperation materials are being sent on 7 August, and course materials sometime in September. It seems like ages to wait: i've been filling my time reading round on the subject.(Original post by lozzabel493)

Re: Open University Chat ThreadHi all! After much deliberation about different courses and things, I've just registered to do S104, Exploring Science, starting in October! Eek! I'm already nervous, I left college in 2006 but haven't studied anything maths or science based (apart from social sciences!) since GCSEs! I wanted something a bit more challenging though as at college I took mainly essay based subjects which I was good at, but always found quite easy, so I've gone for something that won't be so easy. I work in admin and feel like I never use my brain anymore, so it'll be good to get the cogs turning again
Now I've just got to find someone to certify my passport for my financial application! -

Re: Open University Chat ThreadThanks! I might go there at the weekend if I can't find anyone else to sign it! I would go after work as I work in London but they shut at 5pm(Original post by h82think)
Someone at Camden OU can sign it
I have a friend who's just qualified as a Police Officer and another friend who's a teacher so I'm going to try them first! I'm trying to rush though, to get it done in time!!
