Hi, All! I'm Joy and I'm starting A215 in October. I'm looking forward to being a student myself after teaching others for 25 years. I will miss the first week of the course as I'm away - and it's not somewhere I can use a laptop. I'm assuming this means I'll just have to work harder on my return to catch up. Anyone else in the same boat?
Hi Joy, I am also doing A215, I aim to be spending 2 weeks in New Zealand hopefully by the end of the year so I will be in the same boat as you having to play catch up :)
the website should open a week or so, maybe more, before your course begins officially. if you start work straight away then, you should be able to get ahead before going on hols. if you also have a course book and study guide that will be delivered by post, the same applies. have a nice hols!
not in the same boat, but as I my last OU course was 15 years ago, I think I will constantly be trying to keep up anyway! Yes, you just have to catch up if you miss a week.
I am also away for the first week of October so I'm trying to wait patiently for the 21st!
