Foreign Perspectives

I thought the results for the Understanding cardiovascular diseases and Maths for science weren’t to be out until towards the end of this month so it was a nice surprise to see the Your result for … is now available messages in the inbox this afternoon.

They’re both level one courses so they’re just pass/fail rather than coming with a grading. In both cases there’s supposed to be more information about the course result arriving in the post in a couple of months time.

The cardiovascular course is one of the OU’s medical style courses with heaps of medical terminology to pick up quite early on in the course. It’s also exclusively online tutoring which I could have done with for this particular course but the promised weekly tutorials only ran for two weeks which was a real shame as they were the kind of style which made you think deeper about the course. Nothing at all really on the Maths for science course as it’s one of the short science courses which only offer you a forum to ask questions on although having said that, it’s much more than was on offer the last time I did a science short course.

Anyway that’s another 25 points in the bag for the degree.
