Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone had studied the foundation degree through open university and when they received their study material from them? not due to start till October but wanted to get myself prepared. Also was there much extra study material that you had to buy? if so do you have any recommendations?
Thanks :)

The FDEY with the OU is made up of modules, E100, E105, E210 and another one I think. E100 is usually the first one and it will start October. Your pack will arrive sometime in September. You don't need to buy anything else. They like you to only use their stuff.

I have done E100, E105 and am now on E212. This is because I am doing the full BA childhood and youth degree.
Hope that all helps

Love wibble the one with too much time on her hands obviously! X

Also there are a few " how to guides" which look at note taking etc on the ou website. I have them on my computer but I am on my phone at mo. remind me to send them to you

They will deliver half a tree in a box nearer the time - and the tutors don't encourage (well, when I did OU they positively discouraged) background reading - so you might as well wait :D

I am thinking of doing an OU course, did you get any funding anyone?
