I have been thinking about what I should do next after E111. These two courses both look interesting child development ED209 and childhood u212. I wondered if any one had done either and how they found them. I am aiming for an open degree, so either would fit with that.I have registered to do human biology in November but want something child centered to do along side it. I did do a Btec childhood studies course in 2000, so have covered abit of development, as well as bringing up 4 of my own. Has anyone done any other couses of this sort on OU they could recommend? There is so many courses not sure what way to go next?
Thanks for any advice.

and there are quite a few threads on the U212 in here with comments on them

I am doing ED209 this year (the books arrive at the end of the month) - so I'll be able to comment further then; I did U212 last year and loved every minute (although the exam was horrible!!).

Hope that helps - if you have any particular questions about U212 I'll be happy to help.

Thanks Medusa.
I think I will most likely do U212, it sounds the most interesting to me. I have only just started with the OU E111 being my first course, are the level 2 courses much different or harder than the level 1. Don't want to bite of more than i can chew!!
Thanks

I loved ED209, I took it rather than U212 because I want to work towards a Psychology degree. ED209 is hard work as there is a lot to cover and the exam is intense so if you want an easy ride and you're not going for psychology U212 may be better; I also considered that one as it did sound really good and had lots of good reviews from this forum but it doesn't count towards my chosen degree and I can't afford to do additional courses.

Good luck with your studies ggeni
