Jesus how do they expect people to be able to afford that!

I don't have a clue. But student finance will still pay for it.

 

Maybe it will discourage so many students going and make degrees more worthwhile than a 3 year drinking game!

That's true, but god knows how ill pay for it!

Student finance will only pay for it, if your actually eligible for it.

 

Don't know if the rules will change but if you are a mature student, who earns over a certain income threshold, you aren't eligible for any finance and have to pay for it yourself, like me.

 

If I hadn't of started it when I did I just wouldn't of been able to afford it

Hi Martwizz

 

I'm also on 1st year FDSC online, and I do agree that feedback is slow and certain lecturers can be a bit pedantic (i'm 40 in May with 23 years in arb/forestry and don't take appreciate being treated like a 16yr old, even if I behave like one). I would like to take a year out but not sure if I could afford to. Several of my colleagues completed the FDSC last year and confirmed that the first year is the most boring so perhaps I 'll just hang in there for now. Looking forward to learning something about trees next semester, particularly pests & diseases. Not sure about the woodland management module though as I used to be a forestry manager and I fear a clash of ideas, so perhaps I'll just bite my tongue and be a good little student.

 

Stick in there buddy:thumbup1:

Hi Both,

I am actually enjoying the subsidence and microtubules bit of the 1st year. I also haven,t really put too much time in until now but have put a lot of effort in reading around the subsidence assignment, Giles Biddles books are awesome but complicated, for me anyway.

Next year should be more challenging, but more interesting I hope.

We should all get together somewhere suitable for a beer and a gripe sometime.

Cheers,

Leigh

Hi Leigh

 

I must admit its not all been boring and I have found the soil science a bit more relevant recently, although plant cell biology and particularly the genetics has been daunting. I think that once the second year starts i will need to put more time aside than i have been recently for study.

 

Beer is always a good idea.
