DD122. The last time they're running it. Shame really, as I imagine that the DD 100 would have been better. i.e. they re-write it.

Thanks, yes it is - although still won't believe it until I get the certificate in my hand!Nice one!

Definitely the future. Leave school at 18, start again at 30.
School is rubbish, so is college and conventional uni. OU is definitely the best way to go! You can do it pretty much all by yourself

Nearly finished my essay for TMA01. Shock horror, I have actually enjoyed doing an essay for the first time in my life! Got the second part to do today which is some questions on ethics. Bloody football on all day to distract me though
I remember finishing my first OU TMA01 essay - it was actually the first essay that I had ever done - before doing it I had never even heard of an essay plan - I got massive satisfaction - and self confidence - from that first one

Which is great if you're self-motivated, but a bit difficult if you're not.

I never thought I was self motivated but I think I actually got de motivated by the standard lecture hall/classroom set up.
TMA01 has been sent
I got 92% on my second TMA!
Thats amazing !
I had new course books arrive yesterday.
Guidance notes suggest pass 3 and 4 are most common at level 3 and dont be suprised if you fail your 1st tma
What have I let myself in for?

Is that what the notes say?
Yeah, it's a bit harder but not that much harder.

Mmm, sort of,
" majority of tma recieve pass 3 or 4 but lower grades are not uncommon,particularly for early assignments."
As for not being to much harder I hope your right but to be honest its not essay writing I have trouble with but exams.

Thanks, I am only only level 2. The next TMA looks much harder

The I found lowered my level 3 scores was that there was no substitution for some of the courses. Miss out a single TMA and watch your mark plummet 
They should all allow substitution imo.

I've signed up for a module in maths. I used to be quite decent at maths at school but I haven't done any for 13 years so looking forward to seeing if I can still handle it.
