God I am SOOOOOO bored, first time of no OU study for 2 years, roll on January!!

Haha, I know the feeling...so I've registered on a Python course on Coursera, and I'm going through the Ruby courses on CodeAcademy (and will probably do some others once I've done that). Coursera is definitely worth a look in case there's anything you're interested in starting around now.

So far, so good. Reading for DU301 has been relatively painless; very similar to U213 but much easier to understand!

Not sure what kind of grades you cn expect at level 3 though :confused:

Does anyone if all the level 1 courses have those quizzes to see if you're ready, please?

I'm fairly sure they don't all have one, but the 'Entry' bit of each module page tells you whatever they think you need to know...

Does anyone know if the 10% rule for TMA word counts still applies if you have been given a ranged word count?

I.e, if given guidelines of 1500 to 2000 words, can you go up to 2200?

thanks!

Depends on the course, best speaking to your tutor....in our EMA the wordcount was a MAX of 2400, yet the tutors gave us the 10% as well...

No good for T450, you need project approval from your tutor before you start.... :rolleyes:

Today is a sad day.

I have just realised the Wolfram|Alpha will only let you see 3 step-by-step solutions per day for free.

Have you tried clearing the cache and seeing if that works ? Sure someone will find a way to bypass it.

You're lost. This is a thread specifically for people studying with the Open University. You need to start a thread elsewhere. We can't help you.

I am not enjoying Y180 making sense of the arts, is AA100 the arts past and present any better? I think I made a mistake signing up to the OU, it is not at all what I was expecting.

You can see a bit of AA100 on OpenLearn - basically, the OU let people study anything for free, although you don't get a qualification at the end. And the things you study there are adapted from real OU courses. So that bit will be very similar to what you will study, although you don't know where it is in the course.

Thanks, hmm Doctor Faustus doesn't look too interesting. I saw on the learning space something called 'Gaelic in modern Scotland' - that looked great, but I can't find any OU courses like it. :frown:

I know that I probably should do AA100. I intend to use an OU CertHE in lieu of A levels and my preferred degree programme at UCL asks for humanities subjects... but I do not like literature, I like history but I have no idea how much or how little history there is on the AA100 course.

This might help - or stick "AA100" in the search box at the top and there's loads of posts about it.
