I completed A112 back in 2021, absolutely loved it, especially the focus on art history, not that you seem to need advice but if I were to give any, i would say try to read both books as soon as possible, it will help massively. I left it to when it said to read them and wished I had some background knowledge on each book.
Hi Dan. I am nearly done with A112 and have been doing a full credit this year. I have really enjoyed A112 and originally thought I wanted to study English Literature as my degree, but after doing A112 I have decide against it. I did not like the English Literature TMA and found a few people say they did not enjoy it too. I am now looking at classical studies or History but still undecided and want to get my results back from A111 and A112 before I make the decision. Hope you enjoy A112 😊
Thank you and sorry to hear about the Eng Lit TMA.. my back up is also Classical Studies as I think I’d also enjoy that but will see how I find A112 before I make a firm decision 😊
I’m doing first year full time right now and I ended up choosing A113 even though I wanted to do eng lit initially since I thought revolutions were more interesting. Now that applications are open for year 2, my only experience with eng lit is the dickens unit in A111 so choosing is gonna be tough😬. I watched your videos for A111 before even applying to OU so it’ll be nice to see what I missed out on in A112 when you start!
Good luck with your studies! I initially enrolled on to A113 as was also interested in History, but I keep changing my mind so who knows what I’ll end up doing after A112 🤣 but I will certainly be posting about my experience with A112 anyway 😊
Hi Dan, just came across your and I’m go grateful for your videos! I’m currently studying my 1st year in psychology, I’ve done well I think considering I havnt studied since college (11 yrs ago) but it’s actually not what I thought it would be and as the module has gone on, my hearts not in it. My tutor has been very contradictory to which has put me off and I’ve not had the best support but I don’t want it to put me off studying as I enjoy it. I’ve decided I want to study something I enjoy and maybe I can take with me to help in a career. Currently I have my own cleaning company and I tried to be a pro mountain biker which didn’t work out but hey ho!I’m scared of choosing the wrong subject again but A111 sounds great and I’m very interested English literature. Could you possibly tell me a little about your experience with the tutors on this course? Like I said, not had the best experience and I’ve lost a little confidence. Sorry the very long message! I just want to get it right this time. Thank you for your time and your videos!
Hi and thank you. I’ve only done A111 so far so only had one tutor. For the most part he was really good, the tutorials I found really helpful and the feedback on assignments was useful in indicating what I could do better going forward. Obviously I can’t say how other tutors would be as there are quite a few for A111. I know it can be disheartening to have a tutor that doesn’t live up to expectations, I had a couple when I did my first degree and it can affect confidence and enthusiasm for sure. In terms of subject matter, I found A111 wonderfully diverse and interesting and it starts at a nice easy pace so that students are able to find their feet with humanities. Hope you continue your OU journey in whichever subject you’re drawn to and for every bad tutor, remember there are 10 tutors who are great and happy to help
Hi Suzanne, I've only completed 2 modules so far but I had a similar experience to you with my psychology tutor. In fact if it had been my first module I probably would have given up. My other tutor however had gone above and beyond to support and encourage, just hope this encourages you a little!
I don’t have anything set in stone and at the moment I’m mainly completing it for enjoyment. However, I would like to live abroad in the future so I’ve been considering teaching English and am also currently studying a TEFL qualification just to keep the opportunities open 😊
@@DanUniAndBooksthats very inspirational I am studying a Psychology conversion course with the Open uni at the moment but have a huge love for literature hence I enjoy watching your book reviews Dan, thank you
