Foreign Perspectives

If you read the comments before you sign up for S377, it sounds like an impossible course to do and one that just about everyone will fail.

Real stats tell a different story. Yes, it is slightly harder than most OU courses but only slightly going by the stats which show a drop out rate about 5% higher than average and a pass rate about 5% lower.

Mind you, you do need to be quite determined not to drop out as nothing makes much sense as you go through and it’s only at revision time that it all comes together. So, in my case the expected resit turned out not to be required by a very safe margin and I ended up with just shy of a distinction!

That’s caused a minor issue as it now appears that I may be able to improve my overall degree classification if I get the finger out with the final two modules.
