Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: To substitute or not to substitute...
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2013/04/to-subsitute-or-not-to-substitute.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Tuesday, 9 April 2013. To substitute or not to substitute. That is the question. I have 2 assignment deadlines within days of each other coming up in 10 days or so that are making me panic. W100 TMA03 is due on the 19th and DD101 TMA06 is due on the 22nd. I think for now I am going to focus on W100 and get that done and dusted, if some miracle happens and I have both time and mental energy left then I will attempt DD101 too.

Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: December 2012
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Sunday, 2 December 2012. I joined the Dark Side. I was bought a copy of Microsoft Office University for my birthday in December. As much as I hate large dorporations and try and use open source and small company products instead, I have to say that I'm really enjoying the software package. Sunday, December 02, 2012.

Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: August 2013
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Monday, 19 August 2013. Bosworth Battlefield Re-enactment 2013. I'm a history buff, most of what I read and watch for pleasure is historical in nature. I've always been interested in the medieval/tudor/elizabethan eras and that was a large part in my decision making for taking A200 this year. I took (a lot) of photos which I popped up on flickr if you want a look. I think I'm going to go back to the site sometime in the next couple of mon...

Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: March 2013
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Saturday, 30 March 2013. I appear to have developed a bit of an addiction to filofaxes. A post on a forum led to this lovely blog - http:/ amanda-sheseclectic.blogspot.co.uk/. Which got me researching the various types, then up popped a discount code and before I knew it I had placed an order. My love new red metropol pocket arrived this morning. For the wonderful archive of information. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Links to this post. It is...

Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: Results are in!
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2013/08/results-are-in.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Friday, 2 August 2013. Well, I appear to be a better student than I am a blogger ;) Results for DD101 are back and I got a distinction, with 95% on my OES! I can't quite believe it, but I'm not going to argue with them! A200 begins in October, and I've already received my PDF disc of module materials so if I get chance I might try and make a head start. So I'm not too far behind on my reading but my clothes are getting tighter ;).

Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: October 2012
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Monday, 29 October 2012. First deadline, Meep. It's all a learning process and I should be able to look back and laugh at how hard I found such a relatively easy assignment. So now it's in, and done and I just have to wait for the feedback. I've heard from a few people that it takes a little while to get used to the critical way that tutors give feedback so I'm bracing myself for an email full of red pen and a big fat F.

Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: Exams, Panic and Software Shinies.
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2013/08/exams-panic-and-software-shinies.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Wednesday, 14 August 2013. Exams, Panic and Software Shinies. I am panicking a little about the concept of an exam at the end of A200. I've bought an old paper to look at what will be expected and that just terrified me even more. I really need to put a plan of action together to ensure I'm taking proper notes all the way through and not just binge-studying towards the end. StudyBlue for Flash Cards - http:/ www.studyblue.com.

Reflective Ramblings of an OU student: W100 Results!
http://rustybrains.blogspot.com/2013/11/w100-results.html
Reflective Ramblings of an OU student. Helpful Software and Links. Friday, 29 November 2013. That's my two level 1s complete and 120 credits towards my degree. A third of the way there :D Hooray! I really enjoyed W100 and recommend it as a course, it helped having a fab tutor too. I've got lots of time next week to get ready for TMA02, which is due in on the 12th and I'm not going to take a break over Xmas so I can get ahead a little before DD203 starts next year. Busy days, but happy days :).
