Anyone doing Myerscough's Online FdSc in Arb next year?

[Ben H]

Hi guys,

 

Today I got confirmation of my place on Myerscough's online foundation degree course! Cant wait to get started in September. Got a lot of reading to get done in the meantime.

 

I thought I would create this thread to find others who are going to undertake the course.

I'm finishing my online FDSc in a couple of months. Its not that intense, just stick with it and try to get work done gradually.

 

The best advice I can offer is

 

- do your leaf collecting at an arboretum where everything is labelled for you already

- 3 years is a long time. It feels like I've been doing it forever! If you get stressed out, just make a list of what you need to do and soldier on. Its never as bad as you think!

- Do your best to participate in the online discussion areas with other students. Keeping each other company is important, it gets tough when it feels like you are on your own.

 

Best of luck guys! Let me know if you have any specific questions

Im glad to hear your coping with the intensity Martin, I however have taken this week off, but am still on call,to deliver the assignments due on Friday.

I know its my fault but its still hard work, this week has been 16 hours of college work and counting.

Its not that rigorous but it does take time.

Cheers,

Leigh

Hi

 

I have been thinking of doing this for a while. What are the staff like? Are they supportive?

All the tutors are different. Some reply to emails the same day, others can take several days. It also depends on their workload.

 

The online forum for students to communicate to tutors often remains unchecked for 1-2 weeks. There are also mistakes and issues that lead to critical information being released close to deadlines, or feedback not being suitable, or not enough information being provided to complete a module properly.

 

The class tutors do understand, however, and do their very best to accommodate your needs regarding extensions, support or other issues.

 

I think the key is to be in a year where all the students are proactive in communicating with each other, when this happens, it makes life easier!
