MY TOP 10 TIPS FOR STUDYING WITH THE OU | OPEN UNIVERSITY | CHATTY VIDEO

Hello! Thank you for watching my video!

Before I forget, this is my favourite "Study with me" channel @MerveStudyCorner
I would love it if you subscribed to my channel-It would be great to create an OU student community on here.

Have a great week!

I would like this video 1000 times if I could. I needed something like this. I can't wait to start my degree in October. I will be able to access the module website on the 8th of September and that's when I plan on starting my work. I would like a head start especially with having two kids and working part-time.

19:58 As a fellow auditory learner, I really appreciate the points you made, around this especially.
Learning from any type of seminar or tutoring makes a huge impact, despite/ especially if our personal views don't agree with the teachings.
Things like that teach me more because I feel more challenged personally.

The getting ahead/ health prep tip for the winter meant so much.
Have a good new years!

Hi Stacey. Really useful video. I've done 3 years of my degree (part time) and have another 3 to go after having to defer last year. So although I've already studied quite a lot with the OU there were still things in this video that I've found useful. Really hope to get involved with this community as one of the things I've struggled with is the lack of sociability with fellow students.

Thanks for making this video. I'm just about to start my very first module in a few weeks so it's a great help. 👍

Hello, thank you for the tips. It helped relieve some of the anxiety. I am going to do the STEM acces module so I can study a degree and I am super excited. I am disabled too and I will follow your advice on starting work as soon as it is available!

That's a very helpful and detailed video on Open University! Thank you.

Thanks for a great video. Some useful tips!!

Thank you so much. I am moving from Uni to the OU this year. Having spent a year at physical uni, your points around the organisation are essential. I am someone that prints out the assignments and has a notebook for each module. I had some hesitation about moving to the OU but listening to your guidance I know I am going to be okay. This was really helpful. Thank you.

I probably watched this video thrice already. Super helpful thank you so much. I started my module this month and I really am completely new to OU as I was given credit transfer award from my previous studies. I wish there are more videos like this! Any chance you can share how you prepare for TMAS? ☺️ Greetings from Thailand ☺️

[beckybaker]

A great video thank you so much. Super helpful :)

Hiya! Stacey, Thank you for the really good advice and tips. Excellent video. I'm having a new workstation fitted in a corner of my bedroom tomorrow. Managed to get hold of the two books you reccomended in your last video so I'm working through them at the moment. I wish I'd applied for DSA now but I'll try and get by. I'm getting organised well in advance before the difficult bit in October when I panic...panic...panic🤣😆🤣

This is a really good video. I'm not the kind of person who is organised, always motivated (don't get me wrong, I'm doing this because I want to but it's hard to get motivated some days and other days I'm extremely motivated) or even able to stick to a routine so I find myself studying like hell some days and not at all on others. I started in the spring and the first module was intense, like 14 hours a week for a 30 credit module. I'm about to get my result for TM111 (I'm studying Computing and IT for my degree) next week even though I submitted the final TMA in early September.

Now I'm doing two modules at once (TM112 and MU123) and it's tough to prioritise but like you, I always study the whole book and I always attend the tutorials where possible, even if it means I'm behind where I should be. I'm not entirely happy that my degree consists of twelve 30 credit modules as I'd prefer some 60 credit modules in there so I'm not having to constantly do multiple courses at once, but well, it is what it is.

My computer/Google Calendar is in my bad books because I get it to remind me when I have a tutorial and it doesn't always do that 😐I understand why some people just go straight to the TMA-related stuff, but my belief is that everything in the course materials is there for a reason and even if to some people it might seem superfluous to study it now, the knowledge we gain could come in handy later down the line when it comes to level 2 and 3 study. In fact, I'm sure it will. I think I can catch up as the maths stuff comes pretty easy to me. But I have no prior experience in computing so I need to study a lot harder for that.

Congrats on being in the 100% club! I'm not there yet. I've had four scores between 96 and 99% but no 100s! Just subscribed to your channel and well done on your progress so far 🙂

Great video! Can you show how you organise your folder with all your work and how you split it. I am struggling with organisation 😭 x

[felipecruz]

It was a great video . Thank you so much

Hi, I'm about to start my 1st Open University Access course studying Arts and Languages Access module, I'm so excited!!

[kd]

I have Fibromyalgia and Epilepsy; when they say they can make accomdations for illnesses on forms, I never understood what they meant. Is there anyone else who suffers with the same conditions that have had adaptions or know any way to find more knowledge? I have done a lot of damage while sitting at a computer so I'm worried😢

[robertwilson]

Thanks Stacey. I really got a lot out of it. Would you recommend doing the access course? I haven’t formally studied for about 30 years.

[barora]

Could you please show us how they ask you to write one of ur assignments. Like do they give you questions to answer for the assignments or?
Thank you! ❤

[bryonylanyon]

Hi I am looking to start this course this coming October. I have always struggled with writing at length, is there assessments where there are a minimum amount of words you have to do?

[小池秀和-ly]

I thank you.(I apliciate you.(apriciate?)(I gratitude you.)(gratefully!))
