Here's a refined version of your comment: Thank you so much for all your videos. As an Open University student from abroad (living in Portugal), your videos have been incredibly helpful. By the way, there are unique challenges when a student lives outside the UK or English isn't their first language. Perhaps you could address these challenges in one of your videos.

Good luck on your last modules. I officially just got my Open University qualification yesterday (just before 2021).

Hi, Im just going to start the Computing and It HND with the OU but I dont know which route choose between broad, communications and networking, Communications and Software or just Software. Im a bit lost, thanks
@TomWagstaff3 жыл бұрын
Well the best way to decide might be to have a look at what career you want afterwards and then choose the appropriate path. If there isn't one, then you might be better off choosing broad to cover a bit of everything

Hi Tom, hope you are well. How have you found the course materials for your course? Are they accessible? Also are there online live lectures fir your course? Or CD rom lectures? In terms of learning the content.

Hey, there are online tutorials for all modules I believe, when there isn't a pandemic you can also attend face to face tutorials if you want to

how have you found studying full time for year 2 and 3. I'm considering it as I would rather finish the degree earlier but not sure on the work load.
@TomWagstaff3 жыл бұрын
For me, year 2 wasn't that much more intense than year 1, year 3 on the otherhand has been. You could do it full time if you prepare in advance for it and be prepared for that final module that is based on another year 3 module. I would have probably have used the full 40+ hours of study time for the four modules had I done all 4 at the same time

Hi Tom, I was a law student. Have passed the bar exam. Say I got the licence, would this degree in math and physics help get me into the legal practice of blockchain and crypto, and even the space law possibly in the future?

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't know, that's something you'd have to research or ask someone who is in that profession already
