Thanks for this video. You have such great content that is so beneficial to students, however I wish the volume of the background music was a little lower as I really had to keep re-winding to make sure I heard everything. I am thinking to do two level 3 modules next yr with OU but think I won't cope as I have 4 kids and my little 3 year old is only part time in pre-school. If the current lockdown situation repeats itself.. I know I won't cope with all of them home-schooling.

@shabscorner23413 жыл бұрын
Ah thank you! We moved out at 21 and my partner looks very young. In our experience we found that generally people took us seriously. There was only one occasion where someone was incredibly rude and didn't take us seriously and becuase we are petty we just avoided that estate agent. I would say just be upfront about your budget and honest about when you can move out. If you are worried about estate agents maybe have a look at the reviews for them before you go for viewings for your own piece of mind. It's also worth taking someone with you so you can bounce thoughts of each other 😊 good luck!

Hi Shannon, your advice is helpful. I am currently doing a level 2 course in information, advice and guidance which is a distance learning course and is funded. I think first writing out the questions are helpful, especially any learning outcomes. That way when reading the learning materials, it becomes easier to make own notes and answer the questions quicker.

Great video. But also about the agent, it’s not always the agents fault. 9 times out of 10 it is usually down to the landlord being an eejit, but a courtesy email / call to you wouldn’t go amiss so you know it’s being dealt with somewhat (Coming from the experience of a property manager) ;)

Your best scoring level 2 module and best scoring level 3 module goes towards your degree classification. (This may mean your level 2 C-19 experience wont affect you as bad as you think). Level 3 vs 2 is weighted 70% - 30%.

Thank you for this video, it is very helpful... I am just struggling to be organised, something always seems pop up out of the ordinary but I do enjoy studying. I wanted to ask is it possible to do more than 60 credits as a part-time student using my student loan. As, last year I wanted to do 90 credits and I was told that I may not be able to get funding for it as a part-time student so have been doing 60 credits but next year I would like to up my credits. The advisor told me that ou was designed for part-time students but so many people are doing more than 60 credits. I am confused.
@shabscorner23414 жыл бұрын
Hi lovely, that sounds confusing! I am pretty sure you could do 90 credits and use student finance. It's still classed as a part time tuition fee loan not full time. If you apply for 90 credits and then do your finance make sure to tick the box on sfe that says something about allowing them to adjust the amount you borrow. They should then cover the full 90 credits. I do 120 credits a year so I can't see why 90 would be a problem? You could ask student finance England? They are really helpful in the phone! Good luck!

Oh you bloody gem, thank you for this! I started doing my psychology degree like 6 or 7 years ago but only did the first year as I found it hard with being back at work and having two young girls (one being autistic) fast forward now and I just re-enrolled to carry on finally but I remember how overwhelming I would find studying and just being generally useless at organising so I knew I need to get my butt in gear and get properly prepared for it this time lol. This has been a great help. Also how are you finding doing a 60 cred plus two 30 creds? I was thinking about doing this next year (depending how I cope with just the one 60 cred this year) as a way to reduce how long it will take.
@shabscorner23414 жыл бұрын
