Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Got my dates for tutorials for E123 & E124.....gulp!!!now it seems almost real. Tutorials for E124 are nice and local but E123 is about 1 hours drive away Why can't they both be in the same place? I know 1 hours drive isn't much really but after a full week at work its not really my idea of fun on a Saturday morning...some start at 1.30pm! I will obviously go to as many as I can......anyone who has already done or doing there's go to all he tutorials???? Do you think I would miss loads if I didn't get to many? What do you think?

Gezabel Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 HI Mrs B Since starting with the OU in 2003 (6 courses done and 2 to go!) I have missed 2 tutorials. Once was because I was in hospital and once because tutorials for two different courses clashed so I had to choose! I think it is a personal thing and for me I find tutorials invaluable. Maybe it would be an idea to attend the first one or two and see how you feel? Some students manage perfectly well without attending any so maybe it is a case of try it and see especially if there is a long drive involved. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrsb Like Geraldine, I am studying with the OU and have done the same courses, I have only ever attended 1 tutorial a few years ago. I don't believe that it has been detrimental to my studies. However, the online conference is invaluable and so supportive Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Oh unfair got my tutor but no date or venue yet! really can't wait may I ask where your tutorial is mrs b? My tutor seem to come from tonbridge and I really don't want to travel this far for my tutorial because of my kids I give up my time in the week to study but don't want to give up my quality time with my kids! If I get a drive to go to the tutorials does anyone know if I can ask for a change of venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi hairymaclary, E124 is about 10 mins away from home E123 is at University of Surrey which is in Guildford!!! I'm hoping that although different courses and subjects I can get the knowledge of how to set out the assigments etc from the local tutorial so if I can't get to many of the other one I'm not going to have too much trouble. Like cathy m reply has made me feel a bit better...have always got the online service to help and of course the very very helpful people on here... mrsb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
