Good Luck! I am waiting for my last exam result to come through, and then I have my final project paper to submit in early September and that is hopefully mine all done. :-D

I already wrote one of those for my Media and Journalism study... It's what I look up to most. It's a PITA if ever there was one! Good luck with it though. Judging from your writing history here on CP I'm sure it will not be a problem :)

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[^].

I usually do the exact opposite... Read it once, then use the keywords on the left of the text to quickly skim (like before an exam or something).

The whole reason I'm doing this is so I don't have to attend anything. I just got out of college and I hated it. Not a single teacher could hold my attention. Reading the books is much more effective. Besides, going to college means spending about four hours a day in a bus... Going to college now will probably mean being in traffic jam for at least an hour, getting home late, and still spending considerable time in a car even if I do not get stuck in traffic. You think I should move to a more inhabited area ;p

I checked the brochure and decided to pretty much follow their suggested learning path. I will have to choose between some optional classes though. I'll probably take the more technical ones :) As for when I will follow them, as soon as possible. I now have three courses and started the first one. If I get tired of the theoretical course I'll check out some Java (which is a more do- than theory course).

Thanks for the advice and congrats on graduating! I'm 'attending' the Dutch OU (which makes for some awkward translations of programmer jargon, such as 'be-questioning' a database :laugh:). It is also in high regard. At first I thought this was something for retired people with nothing else to do. I read some good stuff about it though and the reactions on CP are pretty positive as well.

}That's a sweet deal, but I've been somewhat afraid of it. IMO, what an employer spends on you is essentially your compensation package, just not in the form of cash. I'm afraid if I took an employer's offer on that, it would basically be docked from future income. In that sense, you're still kind of paying for it.
