Hi Anna and everyone in the group,

I wanted to get going with something now I have received the course materials so I have been swatting up a bit on the online OU study skills, especially the info on how to write the Assignments.  All a bit scary really but for anyone that hasn't looked yet, give it a try.  Loads of info to take in but as I haven't done degree level study before, I am finding out how much I need to learn about it!  Some of it has been really helpful.  Anyone else had a look?  Have you found it helpful?

Hi Sarah.  I am trying to find the info on assignment writing but having problems locating it.  Where should I be looking?

Thanks

Anna

Hi Anna,

Click on "Study at the OU" on the top tool bar, then scroll down to "Support for Your Study" and click on  the "Skills for Study" section.  It's all there and pretty easy to follow.  I have printed out some of  of the advice otherwise there would be loads to remember.  Hope that is helpful.

PS  I keep getting lost on the site and going down paths and then not being able to get back to my original page, but the more I use it, the better I seem to get at it!  Anyway, good luck with it all.  Let me know if you get stuck and I will try to help.

Hi folks, Looks like there are enough of us to make this work. Doing the same modules so obviously on the same pathway. I'm looking forward to the challenges that will undoubtedly arise. 

Hope I can do the work and get my head round the learning systems to produce the essays etc !!

Be great to tune into you guys and brainstorm with ya'll.
