10menwent2mow Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Either that or you have higher standards than I do. I don't think so. I actually looked up the course a couple of years ago and it did look to have evolved very well. I guess technology will have improved a lot since I was there and that will always help a course of this nature. There were just quite a lot of broken promises for us and we generally felt a bit let down by it. The only aspects I felt were enjoyable were the TV and Radio parts of the course. I'm glad they have learned from their mistakes though, a lot of us just got the feeling they were making it up as they went along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdogunderdog underdog Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Fair play to anyone with the discipline to do a degree through the OU. Don't think I could ever manage it personally I'm in my last year of Open Uni degree. I did my HNC and HND at college first of all. I got accepted for 3rd year at uni but opted for Open Uni as the college I attended has links to OU. I regret it partly as it is hard to get motivated as only have one 3 hour lecture a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 First semester results back for 2nd year Chem Eng and I've averaged a 67 which I'm delighted with. Thought having a year out would be detrimental but thankfully the opposite, in a good place financially which has given me a lot of motivation. Hopefully drag that above the 70 mark by the end of May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've obviously worked really hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Litt Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Still Waiting to hear back from Dundee for Law and Strathclyde for Politics - does anyone know how long they usually take. No clue about Strathclyde but when I applied Dundee were the last to get back to me, mid March/early April. Spoke to folk last year and it was the exact same too, m8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Still Waiting to hear back from Dundee for Law and Strathclyde for Politics - does anyone know how long they usually take. For my History and Politics course at Strathclyde, I heard back from the uni around the first week in March. The other universities got back to me a week or so later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Somehow managed to swing a 51% in my hardest module exam, coupled with a 78% in class assessments and a 61% essay, another overall 2.1! Just need to get this dissertation out the way! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Anyone know how long it takes to bind a dissertation, and how much it costs? Left the lit review section of my paper til last minute, and looks like I could be pushing it a bit for binding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Dissertation finally completed and submitted online. Printing it now, into town to bind it tomorrow then physical submission on Monday. So happy it's done I could cry No rest for the wicked though, essay due on Friday that I've not had time to start then another two the following week! Anyone know how long it takes to bind a dissertation, and how much it costs? Left the lit review section of my paper til last minute, and looks like I could be pushing it a bit for binding. Ryman stationery in town told me they'll do it while you wait. There's one on Byres Road too. Not more than a few quid I wouldn't think if you're going for the basic kind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're at Glasgow, then there's a place just across the road from the GUU which will do it on the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yeah the Print Unit, will probably go in late afternoon tomorrow. Just wasn't sure how long the process took and whether I'd be in a f**k off queue with only hours 'til hand-in. Ta very much. Can't wait to get this bugger out the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I got my first version of my PhD thesis printed there no bother - it took them about 90 minutes. However, that was in the middle of December, rather than a busy dissertation time. So my post comes with the warning that your experience might be different to mine given the timing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Got mine done there in Ryman. Took her five minutes and £7.18 for the both of them with 10% student discount. That was me having printed them at home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
