Yet another course starting 26th Jan, I think I may be on my own again though!!

This one is a social psychology one and having a read of the books today looks really interesting. I have been flagging a bit with DSE212 but I think I had a bit of study overload. It has been nice to have a few whole study days this week and I am getting back into it again; just wish I didn't have to go back to work on Monday, another week would be nice Rolling Eyes

Happy studying all Very Happy

Me too! Which courses have u already done?

veggie · Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 7:37 pm Post subject:

E111 - Supporting Learning in Primary Schools (finished)
ED209 - Child Development (finished)
DSE212 - Exploring Psychology (current)
DD307 - Critical Perspectives in Social Psychology (current)

I plan to do the exploring psychology research project in October and then cognitive psychology, biological psychology and one other course in order to complete the degree; I haven't decided what the last course will be yet there are a few options and I only need 15 points, trouble is it has to be BPS recognised.

Good luck with your studies Very Happy

Oooo sounds good then. Looks like a couple of the courses you've already done I'm about to do! I've already done E111, E243 and E230.
I'm about to start the biological pscyhology and ED209 in Feb then in May am doing a 15 point course Applying Psychology, I think this is the first presentation of it.Next year I'm doing DSE212 and then the project and then year after am doing social pscyhology and the cognitive one!
Good luck to you too

Be interested to hear how you get on with Applying Psychology as I am considering that.

well done veggie. Very Happy

How mmuch longer until you finish the degree? You seem to be zooming along - although it probably doesn't feel that way to you!!

Thanks buttercup Very Happy

It seems like I have been studying forever at the moment, but decent marks keep me going (and mean I stay hard on myself to keep up the good standards!!). I am hoping to get the degree done by 2010 (fingers crossed!)

How are you getting on?

buttercup · Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 9:50 pm Post subject:

slowly!!!

I am struggling with work, family and studying at the moment. E243 is very lonely! No one doing it here and only the OUSA room for chat at the OU which no-one uses! Not that OU chat was ever much good for E111! I am hoping my tutor will send me a list of other willing E243'ers by email but I haven't even received any tutorial notes yet so I won't hold my breath! enough of the ranting and raving, I'm glad you are doing so well and i wish i had the same stamina, good luck with it all and please continue to keep us all informed....
