Hi there, I've started this course in September.I'm a stay at home mum and haven't studied in 13 years. At first I was very anxious about studying and afraid of failure. . Good luck with the course.

Hi, Judith, I am new student of OU, due to Chinese Bechelor of Laws is not recognized in UK, so I came to OU to staudying again. If you like contact me with email below, I will be happy about that.
Nervous to be honest. Haven't studied since college. I've looked at the short starting law bit. Know a bit from A level. Where are you both based? x
Judith Loughlin - Mon, 26/09/2011 - 22:12
I live in Lancashire. I haven't studied since secondary school and have never done anything on law so I'm a bit worried that I'm going to find it quite overwhelming...
Jessica Campling - Tue, 27/09/2011 - 17:32
I'm sure we will be fine Judith. The basics seem quite simple. I bought a law book from waterstones and have just began reading it ready. Are you doing the W100 in feb? im attempting to do W100 and W200 in feb along side a job. Going to be very hard work but I would rather it not take me 6 years to complete x
Danielle Bates - Tue, 27/09/2011 - 19:29
Hey guys i'm startin this in November too! kinda worried because I was never good at revision when I was at school and haven't done anything study wise since I left college 3 years ago, so it's gonna be hard to come from work and try and sit down and do the work! I'm the i'd rather it not take 6 years but I guess thats what I will have to do if I want to work full time too! where are you based Jessica?
Jessica Campling - Tue, 27/09/2011 - 21:42
Danielle, I'm working full time too. gonna be hard work but will muddle through. Im grimsby in N E Lincolnshire you? What are your aims when you finish? x
Danielle Bates - Wed, 28/09/2011 - 10:25

Hi everyone
This might help inspire you to get the end - that sense of achievement when you are done!
I am always amazed by the stories I hear at Graduation ceremonies. The amount of people who started to study (not sure how it will go) and then in becomes such a part of their life they miss it when they finish! There are some video's on here
erm not too sure to be honest. I currently work as a teaching assistant in a school and have contemplated being a teacher meaning I could go on to do my PGCE when I finish or go into law to become a solicitor or barrister. not sure which x
Jessica Campling - Thu, 13/10/2011 - 19:25
got my stuff through today. gonna start looking tonight. get a head start x

Hi, I'm starting Y166 this November as well - just waiting for the materials to arrive. This is my first OU course and I was hoping to continue with W100 in February. I don't want to be over ambitious but I am excited to make a start! It's been over 30 years since I left secondary school so studying is quite new to me.
Nash Ray - Mon, 17/10/2011 - 17:53
Hi Angela, I started the Y166 in September and have registered for the W100 in February. I am a stay at home mum and haven't studied in 13 years. Good luck with the course and am sure you will be fine. I find the writing of essays a bit daunting, but am going to try my best! lol...Good Luck!
Angela Philipson - Fri, 21/10/2011 - 16:50
Great to hear that you've completed your first TMA.
I'm a little worried as I said before about writing and in particular understanding the questions!!
Nash Ray - Tue, 25/10/2011 - 11:17
I felt exactly the same as you Angela, and I still do feel apprehensive and nervous as I haven't written an essay is yearrrrrssss! lol..all I can say is just take your time in reading and understanding the questions and working through it, and it does it get better along the way...lol... good luck and hang in there!

I've been wanting to do this for such a long time. In fact I want to specialize in asset protection, do you have any tips for a beginner like me?
Yup, anxious, but excited to get started :)
