Hi, I'm thinking about studying at the open university in February and just wanted to know if anyone with autism had done the same.If so did you find the assignment's overwhelming. Have you managed to find a job after you had completed your studies with the OU
Would like to hear from anyone who has as I want to see whether it is worth my time
I'm currently interested in studying health sciences
Hi Chloe thats good news that you’re starting in February. I am doing an OU course at the moment, and I do find it can be a bit difficult to keep up with the assignments, as other people have said, if you start things early you should be fine. But sometimes the assignments can be a bit deceptive on how much there is to do. Are you doing full time or part time?
Hi, I'm thinking of doing part time, do you get a long time to do the assignments or is there a short deadline?
Are you thinking of working at the same time? I think it might depend on the course and the amount of credits you're doing. You should get several weeks and they will make it clear when they're due in, just that if you do get a bit behind or distracted then the date can then come up quite quickly. As long as you do early enough you should be fine and you may be able to ask for extra time if you need it for some of the assignments. I'm pretty sure there is only one assignment at a time on the part time course as long as its only one module. You should learn a lot on the course you should definitely do it if you want to. Just be careful with the timings and you'll be fine. What job are you hoping to get after the course?
