I've been with the Open University for a year now. I started off with a 10-credit course in web page design - hence the shape of this site, and I do hope that you're not finding it too irritating. I didn't take the work seriously enough and had a mad scramble to finish the end-of-course assignment, but I passed (phew!).

Since September I've been doing two introductory courses, MST121 which is equivalent to a single maths A level I think, and M150 which is a starter for computing. I've done reasonably well so far though as they're pretty much revision for me that's maybe not saying too much!

I'll be starting MS221 shortly, before I finish MST121, but as it will all still be stuff I've done before (yes, I'm afraid I was a maths whizz at school) it shouldn't be too tedious. I also want to take some more short courses on web design and Java. After that, I'll have to decide whether I want to go the maths route or the computing route - a tough choice because I love both.

My only gripe is the horrible software we have to use for Maths - it's called MathsCad, it's non-intuitive, it's got bugs, and despite my love of computing I do think maths should be mostly be done with paper and pencil - though I'm happy to use a calculator for non-trivial calculations.
