    So I signed up at the Open University[^] and today I received my study material for the first three modules. I just started reading the first course "Introduction to IT"... Shit just got real :~ So I guess I'll have that master degree at the end of the month ;p Until that time I'm off to study.

    It's an OO world.

    public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
    public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
    }

          Hmmm! Maybe the diploma should go to Code Project then, and all members automatically get all member-completed degrees at OU?

            In the age of color laser printers why would anyone go to school? I can get an advanced degree in any subject in about 10 minutes.

              Hey you'll still need some sort of gold seal to make it look official. If only they made small adhesive pieces of paper you could just stick to things...oh wait...

                                  Advice from someone who recently graduated from the OU [BSc Computing And Systems Practices 2:1]: - read all the material at least twice. Skim it and then real read. - Do all the SMA's honestly as they'll show how you're understanding is going. - Attend at least the first tutorial, if the tutor is going to teach then attend. It's the difference between passing and getting a distinction. - Answer the TMA questions as soon as you have done the material, don't wait until the final 'study week' to write it all. - Work out now the overall course you think you'll do and plan the courses you'll take and when. I took all my level 1's in just over a year by doing 3/4 at a time. Most of all, enjoy it. :-D


                                  Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

                                    Yeah, the name "Open anything" led me to beleive it was one of those learning for the sake of learning ones.

                                      So I signed up at the Open University[^] and today I received my study material for the first three modules. I just started reading the first course "Introduction to IT"... Shit just got real :~ So I guess I'll have that master degree at the end of the month ;p Until that time I'm off to study.

                                      It's an OO world.

                                      public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
                                      public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
                                      }

                                        Ohhhhh, this is one of those online colleges that you pay for, not the open courseware ones that you take for free to learn.

                                        The OU is a very well respected university. It was founded in 1969 and most of the courses are correspondence courses; they have a few residential courses as well. Each course carries a level and a number of points attached to it and you need different courses to get degrees. If you think it is a joke, have a look at their site[^].

                                          It becomes all consuming. A bit like CP.
