the #OU is the biggest online university on the planet, & we're probably the smallest protest group against #warcrimes & genocide so your help is very much appreciated!

Pretty much a solid day studying. A week ahead, and started prepping my next assessment, though I still have a practical to do.

I have enjoyed the last two topics a LOT, especially astrobiology and planetary science. I was getting really carried away looking through open source exoplanet data to find potentially habitable planets in distant star systems. Enough that I looked into maybe switching pathways, but the maths remains too intimidating.

#Studying #OpenUniversity #PlanetaryScience

Has anyone here done a psychology Masters or Doctorate with the #OpenUniversity recently?

I'm wondering if their postgrad programmes are better than their undergrad, and thus whether it's worth seeing if I can switch to a postgrad with them.

Have sent off applications to London & Essex for undergrad too.

Brunel they won't accept me for the conversion MsC as they require an undergrad degree. But she said that there are Psychology Masters courses who would accept me without a degree.

I am forcing myself through this absolute hellscape of an #OpenUniversity assignment.

Tutor replied to my email without answering the question I asked in it.

My student mentor says the assignment and info around it is awful.
My friends say the same.
Someone who took the same module before said the same and that they have had complaints about it.

And yet here we are...

NOW I know what a carbonaceous chondrite is. 😀 At least in passing. It was touched on in a section of my current studies re: panspermia.

Gotta say I'm really enjoying planetary science. If my maths skills didn't suck, and I thought it would be useful in the last few decades of my working life, I'd consider switching Natural Sciences pathways..

#Study #OpenUniversity

Goal for today to, hopefully, get me closer to finishing this assignment without crushing me with stress:
- write methods section (which is just a copy paste thing basically).
- write discussion section (which should help me feel better cos I can tear down how bad and pointless this study is).

Will have to wait for a reply from someone after the weekend on what the rationale for doing a study that's been done better in all ways multiple times is...
