Thank you so much for these videos! I enrolled this week on an OU course and struggled to find watchable videos on the subject. These are perfect. Straight to the point, not overly produced. Like having a family member or friend chat to me about it. 🙌

[@stacysspace]

Thank you so much for such lovely feedback Jason! I am so glad you are finding them helpful-I really struggled to find anything watchable when I first started with the OU which was eventually what made me decide to make my own videos! Welcome to the family :)

[@meganxx3145]

I've rewatched this 3 times now. I'm nervous to start DE100 but excited! Thanks for all the videos you make. I know I'm going to continue to take a lot from them :)

[@stacysspace]

I am so sorry to have taken so long to respond to this! Thank you so much! I am so glad you find them useful. How are you getting on? Did you start in February or October? 😊

[@meganxx3145]

@@stacysspace I've just submitted my EMA!!! I started in October 22 and have loved it very much. Surprised myself with the marks I was able to attain. Also just completed first year of E102 aswell. I'm about to watch your new video but I hope all is well! :)

[@stacysspace]

Thank you-all is ok now 😊 How did you find the modules? I loved E102! I’m hoping my next module is more like that. X

Hi Stacey, so motivating! I love your videos and so grateful that I came across it on youtube. I am planning on starting the same in January, so this was really helpful to watch. I am also a mum and working flexible hours, so making sure I am organised is the only way forward! X

[@stacysspace]

Hi Salome! I’m so glad you find the videos helpful! Thank you! It can be tricky working, being a mum and studying but it is so worth it and you are right-organisation is the only way! 😊

Hiya Stacy, fantastic video, really enjoyed it. First of all I wish you tons of luck with your module this year. I've been really busy checking out my module websites, reading my module course guides and attending induction sessions. Like you I also use a Happy Planner but I'm so OCD that I also use Google calendar and Notion. Printing off the TMA's is a brilliant idea and I just printed all of mine today...and the good news is...that for my two modules, all of my TMA's and iCMA's fall on exactly the same due date!! Somebody somewhere doesn't like me...but thanks to you I'm getting organized and that's lowered my stress levels👨‍🎓📚😀

[@stacysspace]

Oh, Sean! I’m so glad to hear you are getting organised and getting into the swing of things! It will really help! Haha! I use Apple calendar and a digital planner too 🙈😂 Mostly just for work though! Eeek-I’ve heard a few people say the same thing about their TMA’s and iCMA’s-all the more reason the get organised now I suppose!! So glad my videos are helping, keep me updated as to how you get on 😊

[@viktorjgf]

I love your videos! I’m starting E102 this October, I haven’t received my books yet, I hope I’ll get them soon.

[@stacysspace]

Oh yeay! I really loved E102! Have you received your book yet? Might be worth giving them a nudge if you haven’t. You can always download a digital copy from the ‘Resources’ section on the website to get you started. Good luck! 😊

[@viktorjgf]

@@stacysspace I have! I’ve already started reading it a bit and doing some activities on the website. 😊

[@nik9105]

I'm doing the same as you Stacy, hope is not so difficult, I'm a bit scared :) I've just finished DD102. Your videos are so inspiring and motivating, just subscribed ! So organized! What stationery you use?

[@stacysspace]

I’m a bit scared too 😩 But I’m sure it will be ok-I doubt that I will be getting a distinction for this one though 😂 How was DD102? What degree are you working towards? Thank you so much! I will do a stationery video-I love stationery 😂😂

[@nik9105]

@@stacysspace I'm doing BSc (Honours) Forensic Psychology part-time. DD102 was ok, a bit boring tbh but overall was good. I'm a senior student and I have to re-learn how to study. I've joined a few DE100 whatsapp groups just for not to feel alone in my journey with OU. Please do a stationery video when you can :) I love stationery too :)

[@lauren2898]

AAAAAAH guys! I am on this course! Just finished the first TMA! So scared to submit it

[@stacysspace]

I am so sorry-I am only just seeing this comment! How did you get on?! x

[@Faith_Chi]

How are getting along with DE100 Stacey? I'm now beginning the EMA. All the best, good luck! Faith xo

[@stacysspace]

I didn't do my best I'm afraid-so relieved it is over now! How did you get on? I have just uploaded a new video that explains why I didn't do so well :)

[@lisametcalfe640]

I'm doing science S111. There are no physical materials at all - all online! The module website opened today so I have managed to print out the schedule but that's really all there is.

[@stacysspace]

Oh wow! No textbooks at all?! That’s better for the environment I suppose! Do you prefer it that way? X

[@lisametcalfe640]

@@stacysspace I love books! It just means I have to stare at a screen way more than I like to. I have bought a tablet in the hope it will be more flexible, comfortable to read and mean less time just sitting at my desk.

[@emma-victoria933]

Hello im looking at doing OU next year. And going to spread thr cost of getting statutory etc over the year. Can you possibly put up links to three stickers and the planner please.

[@stacysspace]

Good idea! I will be putting out a stationery video in the next few days so I will add them to that for you 😊

[@lckflwr1059]

Do I have to buy books myself or do they deliver it to me because I haven't received mine yet.

[@stacysspace]

I am so sorry to only be replying now! Hopefully you will know this by now, but in case you don't-they send them out to you and it is included in the cost of your course usually although some modules do have additional books that you need to purchase I think.

[@barora5854]

Hey, I'm going to study OU next year (Early childhood studies), I want to know do you find it difficult? I'm going to do full time.

[@stacysspace]

That's a tough one to answer because it totally depends on your situation. I really struggled to do just one module this year (part time), I have just uploaded an update video about it, but I know others who are studying full-time and are thriving! I think the biggest challenge for people studying full-time is the assignments that need to be in at the same time or close together so that would be something I look into if I were planning on full time study. The other option toy have is to stagger the modules so start one in October and one in February, but again, that depends on the modules. Hope this helps 😊
