If anyone would like to join a study group or support group with me please just add a comment to this post. I live in the County Durham area so anyone who is also studying in that area just let me know. I ma also on the OU facebook page and group so if anyone is on there feel free to message me!
Good luck to everyone embarking on this new adventure in education!

Hi Nikki, I'm on both of those modules too, i'd like to have a study group! However I'm from Essex so it'll have to be online only :)
Allie
Where in Essex are you based Nikki?

Hi Nikki,
I've just received my textbooks for the DE131 today my initial excitement quickly faded into what can only be described as panic! Would be great to chat with you both and anyone else to see how people are finding it. Im in London though so again online only....
Sam.
Hey! I'm enrolled to start these modules too! I'm in Glasgow tho but would really love to be a part of an online study group! Excitement is slowly turning to fear!! Haha
Claire
Hi Claire
I'm starting these modules too, got my study material through last week the book is really interesting! I'm also in Glasgow, where in Glasgow are you?
Hi Nikki
Yes, would be interested in the online study group. Have had a go at writing the TMA 1 report for DSE 141, but not sure how accurate it is, as I think there is a preparation report to help you complete this, so I'm getting away ahead of myself, lol.
Lol I have only looked at the books I was mailed yesterday and it does seem a little daunting but also very exciting. I am hopefully going to be staring a plan for the TMA 01 soon if time allows so I can keep myself a head of the game a little and not get caught short of time!
Hi Nikki et al,
I am also starting these courses in October and can't wait!
I'd love to join an online study group or local study group (I live in Milton Keynes).
Has everyone started reading the 'Investigating Psycholgy' textbook? It's really interesting!
Vicki
Yes Vicki, I'm reading a bit every night as I'm finding it really interesting!
Found the results of the Milgram experiment totally shocking (pardon the pun!)
Lol! I love a good pun!
Milgram is my favorite part so far. How far do you think you would have gone?
I think this module is going to 'spark' a lot of interesting debates :)
I'm reading the texbook everyday on my lunch, I knew it was going to be interesting but some of the bits I've read so far have me hooked! I really hope the rest of the course is this interesting.
I'm in London but it would be great to have an online group going so that we can chuck ideas around.

hi everyone im debbie and like you im doing dd131 and dse141. Starting dd131 in Oct and dse141 in feb. I am asking myself what have i done and my books havent arrived yet!
Im from Northern Ireland so I will be glad of online group as i doubt there will be one over here lol
Hoping books arrive soon.
Hi Debbie,
On the Student homepage under the module headers is a link called 'materials' which will take you to a page where you can track your delivery. Mine was mailed on the 7th but it does say to allow 10 days. As you say, hopefully it will come soon.
Vicki
Hi everyone, Im Charlie and live in St Neots,Cambridgshire. I am also starting these modules in oct. Very keen and nervous, im a stay at home mum, with two young and not studied for a while so hope I will keep up!!! Would love to be part of a study group, think im gonna need all the support I can get lol. Good luck everyone and looking forward to some great discussions!!
Charlie
Hi Nikki, i am enrolled on both of those and would love a study group. Support is essential i think and we are all in the same boat! I am in a small town called Montrose on the north east of scotland but think that an online group would be just as beneficial.
I am so excited but terrified. Wanted to do this degree for a really long time so have been out of study for 20 odd years!
Am sure this will be a fantastic adventure!
Gillian
Hi Nikki, I would be extremely interested in joining an online study group as i'm in southampton! Only just got my books through today and getting very nervous about it all! would be awesome to get a group going to we can support each other.

Hiya to all that has replied. I honestly did not expect so many people to be on the same course. Actually I'm not sure what I expected.
The study group I wish to form will be online based and I would be happy to help anyone who is struggling with anything, that is of course if I am not struggling myself. I live in Durham but am happy for anyone studying these modules to join. Any one who lives close by however dont be afraid to say so...
Good luck to everyone!
To all above,
I have already set up a group for those who are interested in being part of a study group. If so just click on it to become a member.
Thanks Nikki x
Hey everyone, i too am enrolled on both courses, I'm 20 and live in south east Kent and I'm really looking forwards to starting this course. This is my first time studying any social science but I am looking forwards to the challenge, I am also up for being part of an online study group.
Hope to hear from you soon
Nathan.
Hi there everyone!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that had panic overtake the excitement when the materials arrived. I'm doing both units starting October and would love to feel like I'm not alone. I can't get my head around these forums just yet so that's something I need to get sorted ASAP. I'm based in Sheffield so would love some online study buddies
Hi im Beverley from Wales im starting these courses in 6 days, iv recieved my study material and is a bit daunted i left school 15 years ago so im unsure where to start. Im confused about the 1st TMA this is all new to me and is clueless what im doing lol. i would love to join a study support group please
