MST121 - using mathematics. Should keep me out of trouble, but I have to wait til January when it starts Going to do astrophysics.

Anyone else done an Open Uni degree?

In the second year working towards an OU IT & Computing degree,

Haven't decided what to do next year - may well do a couple of Maths courses do bring my maths up to speed for the level 3 courses I want to do later.

Not done an OU degree, but I have done astrophysics
Liked it so much I did a Masters in it afterwards

I did some OU modules last year.

Was definatley the best written course ive done.

The tutors are usually quite approachable too.

The third , couldnt get to grips with it. Finished the module but was cr@p in the exam. left it after that.

Doing mine at the moment - did MST121 a couple of years ago.
Doing MST207 atm - Mathematical Methods, Models and Modelling. It's not easy to say when p155ed..
If you're aiming for astrophysics, do the the astronomy course (was MS281 when I did it, but it's now been split into two courses)after MST121/221, then the maths courses (MST207 is probably a good one), then MS207 - Discovering Physics, then MS381 - The Energetic Universe, then MS357 Space Time and Cosmology (which I'm signing up to do next year). Oh, and try not to miss out any associated summer schools. a) They're a good laugh and b) getting a degree will probably require that you attend at least one.

I thought the OU limited you to 60 point in a year, unless you could show you had more time available to study. i.e Not working, or only part time work.

If your working 90 points will be a killer to do right!

I did 45 points of course at the OU and a HNC day release from college, and worked full time. Thats was bad, but i think 90 points of course would be worse!!
