So here we finally are, after months of waiting, the degree is open for official business. Even though I have got a few weeks ahead of the schedule, I decided to revisit the beginning blocks to keep it all fresh in my mind.
I have done the relevant tasks, blogged the news stories, introduced myself in the forum and googled my name. I also looked over all my notes to jog my memory of things I need to take more time studying. I have been surprised how much math knowledge I can recall from my schooling days. I’m sure the maths will get harder, but so far so good.
It seems some people on Facebook groups are worried about ‘rats’ and ‘moles’ watching over their every post. I sure that the Open University don’t have mafia style cartel of undercover students. If they do, I’m sure they really aren’t that concerned about what their students chat about. If you feel you may say something to get yourself in trouble, then don’t say it! I think everyone is aware that you don’t pass your work around to others. You don’t post answers nor ask for them. And for me the most important part of online life is simply be nice! It’s not hard to do.
My learning outcomes for this week are;
- Started my first website using Google Apps
- Frequencies and wave lengths
- Packet switching and different architectures
- The Open University website likes to crash, a lot!
This week I will be concentrating on trying to finish block four and complete TMA 01. Hope everyone is enjoying the course as much as I am so far. Looking forward to the first face to face tutorial.
