I can totally relate to the bad tutor situation. I am just about to finish my current module and the tutor i had was everything but supportive and helpful. Just an example. I asked her for advise because i didn't understand something in the material which was necessary for my assignment. The only thing she said was "revisit the material" and just sent me a bunch of links (links of the parts I didn't understand and asked her about). Or another thing she did, telling us during the assignment we can do stuff in certain ways which wont affect our mark. But when I did it she marked me down with the explanation "It wouldn't be fair if I don't mark you down when other students were able to do it a different way". At the end I decided not to contact her anymore and not to visit her tutorials because i knew, everything she sais wont help me at all.

Hey thank you very much for your video. I will be starting to study Psychology at the OU this October. I have a question about the last part. I really want to apply for a PHD in Clinical Psychology after doing my Bachelors and was surprised that research done in the Bachelors project will not be accepted? You said you will link some more information about this but I could not find any. Any tips on how to to gain more research experience while studying which is also accepted?

@ShazWag 3 года назад

Hi, I started OU Psychology last October. I'm currently doing DD102 and DE100, and I'd like to go onto doing clinical psychology or counselling. I'd appreciate your advice which modules to choose for this.

@blaiseonthevid 3 года назад

Hey there! Like I said in the video, if you're planning on pursuing counselling as a career, you should do the combination Psychology and Counselling degree. For clinical psychology, again, like i said in the video, you need any Psychology degree but you will need to get working experience before furthering your study. Good luck! :)

What are the assignments like for someone doing 60 credits vs 120 credits? or just in general. What’s the word count like? Do you get feedback or wait till your final mark? Is it hard to write academically?

@blaiseonthevid 2 года назад

@trinity great questions! Lemme tackle them one at a time: 1) A module (30-60 credits each) will have about 5-6 assignments + iCMA and, for some modules, an exam. If you're deciding to do two modules in a study year (aka 120) then the number will double. 2) The word count will increase the further along your study you are. Expect to write up to 3,000 word essays at the end of your studies. 3) You'll get feedback throughout your study and will always be able to talk to your tutor if you are struggling to understand their feedback. But keep in mind that you cannot always rely on them, you should have a self-improve mindset. 4) It's a little difficult to get used to at first, but you can get the hang of it quite easily if you use the tools you have available to you. I have a video about writing assignments and Grammarly's paid version has a "study" mode that helped me a lot I hope my answers helped!

@YingYing-tx2ii 3 года назад

Must you attend all your lessons live ? Or is it all at your own time(I.e recorded lectures) ?

@blaiseonthevid 3 года назад

This is a GREAT question! Tutorial attendance isn't compulsory, but you need to be aware of whether the module that you've enrolled in records tutorials or not. For example, in year 3, my tutorials for E313 were recorded but the ones in DE300 were *not* - so it really depends on what you feel & what your module offers!

@sunsunsunh 3 года назад

Hi! I want to enrol at the OU this year. I read on the website that they call you once they receive your payment to complete the registration. Would you tell me what this call is about? What do they ask you? Thank you :)

@blaiseonthevid 3 года назад

Hey! It's just a formality. Once you've completed payment, they'll call the number on your file (or you can call them, too) to just confirm everything is correct - nothing personal, don't worry :)

@pharagon1 2 года назад

I did not receive a call from the OU to complete the registration. I just enrolled and that was basically it.

@janmiedza6607 2 года назад

can you continue your studies at prestigious universities after graduating from ou?

@blaiseonthevid 2 года назад

If you did well in your studies (ie. obtained a 2:1 or a First), I don't see why not. But that's up to the next uni you want to study at

@sabahatnaheed1435 2 года назад

how many hours of study should i be doing as a full time student?

@blaiseonthevid 2 года назад

Hello! If you look on the OU website, they recommend full-time students treating their study as full-time, so 30-40 hours of study a week.

@htheorylab 11 месяцев назад

@blaiseonthevid Yes! 40 hours is an accurate estimate. @sabahatnaheed1435 In an engineering degree, if you are studying 3 or 4 modules at the same time and thoroughly read/study the 3 or 4 textbooks per module and complete all the online activities, then that is at least 5 hours of study per day (every day of the week) those 5 hours include approximately 20000 words (~60 A4 pages) of daily reading between the different module materials, or depending on your personal study plan.
