“I really enjoyed the breadth of scientific disciplines covered in S111, it enabled me to get a taste of them all, and helped me come to a conclusion about what path I wanted to pursue for my future modules. Each topic was well written, constructed and taught, and kept me engaged and interested throughout. There were a good variety of practicals and activities, and good opportunities to interact and work with other students, despite being an "all online" module. The electronic format was used well, with video, audio and interactive tools providing a rounded experience and each format being used to its strengths. S111 was my first OU module, and it has proven to be a very enjoyable and auspicious beginning.” 

“I will certainly say that the open university is definitely the best place to study.  Yes the study is done at home and had the advantage of great savings in travel costs but 1 thing I do have to say is that there is always help available.  The help is not just available from your tutor but the other students can also help you understand the work short of giving you the answers.  The most important point for any prospective students is do not be afraid to ask for help if you don’t understand anything in the materials. I seriously recommend the open university for anybody needing the required qualifications for the career you want… and I have not looked back since I started.”
