Psychology - OU Community Online

Hi all,

Is there anybody from west midlands who is doing DD131 & DSE141 in October. I'm looking forward to getting started but really nervous at the same time. I have two young children but hopefully i will be able to sit and do my degree in the evenings. If anybody wants to create a study group my e-mail is pinkorchidrose@hotmail.co.uk.

 Hi,

I have just enrolled on the above two module which I am to start in October this year. I ma both nervous and excited!! 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!

I am starting DD101 in Oct, age 21, based in Essex, I was wondering if anyone else is based in Essex and would like to form a study group, or if anyone would like to form a study group online?

I am looking at my study materials and I have no clue at the moment what is going on! The first TMA is confusing me already, it doesn't start for a few weeks so I should be ok because we will get help then, but I'm still worried!

 Hi; I'm Jenn, 31 from Newcastle. I am signed up to begin the two above named modules in February 2013, is anyone else starting them at that time? and would any of you be interested in creating a support system for people studying those modules at the same time as us?

Hi, I was just wondering if someone didn't get 40% for OCAS as needed for minimum score to pass, is it still worth to complete EMA?  Because even with EMA pass of 100% course prediction calculator shows course as failed.

Thanks

Hi. I am Anna and I am terrified! What have I taken on?! I am looking for people to cling to and form a study group! I have 3 daughters and part time work so I am only taking on DD131 and DSE141 this school year.  Please let me know if anyone is interested in teaming up and helping each other!?

Many thanks

Anna

hiya all! :)

Im 21 and starting study of a psychology degree from october this year, studying DD101 module. I am really excited but a little scared of how the Open University works etc, when we have tutorials and getting to know others on the course! :) I am looking for work experience at the moment in clinical psychology and I am keeping on my part time (20 hours) job working in a bookmakers which i love!!

thanks all

Many of us OU students may have heard that the OU are planning to stop Residential Summer Schools, some may not have !!!!!!! I am asking for all OU students, not just Psych students so will be posting elsewhere, to email Martin Bean, who is the Vice-Chancellor of the OU. We all need to email the chancellor and tell him about our experiences at the summer school and say why stopping them would be a BIG mistake.

I personally felt the summer school i have just come back from enabled me to understand the project better and i feel confident doing my Report, but without the summer school i do not know how this particular course could be done. I am sure many others have the same feeling when they have experienced a Resi school themselves.

I personally think the summer schools give a far better experience than online versions and we all need to let them know how it helped us and why they shouldnt stop !!! Also i feel the tutors added to the whole experience and made it far more enjoyable !!! xx

He can be contacted via email or post and his details are at the bottom of the page on the link http://www8.open.ac.uk/about/main/admin-and-governance/vice-chancellor

Thank you xx
