The Arts Past & Present (AA100) - a brief introduction

[ReishaDoll]

Starting this in February. Very excited.

[SamusDrake]

Sounds like this has a slight cross over with DD131: Introducing the Social Sciences. How things change with time and place...

[prettyreckless270]

im thinking of doing this and counting it towards BA in English Literature.

I am a little nervous about the course spread ver a variety of the arts as i am mainly interested in books, writing etc. But hopefully it will open my mind to other aspects and subjects.

i am 18 so will be quite a young OU student but i am optimistic.

anyone know anything about the workload? i have only studied at gcse/college level.

good luck fellow TAP&P students!!

this looks excellent and well thought through. That last comment is true, about change through study.

Hi - I managed to get 5 mins to myself to watch this!! I am due to start this course in October aswell. I am very excited but also a little apprehensive. Anyone else in my boat? - West Midlands based?

[clsworcs80]

@MissDisMay1989 I have just finished this module and really enjoyed it. It covers a huge spectrum of topics but its a great introduction to any arts degree. I'm going onto to A200 Medieval to Modern day history. Good luck!

[Vitalyzator]

Greetings from Belgium!

I study humanities at the Dutch "Open Universiteit", wich can be considered as a "sister" of British OU, since it was inspired by OU and is based on the same approach.

[Tillyvalle]

Also in muddy Scotland!  Need all the luck I can get!

Hello everyone on AA100! Now in the prep week and nervously waiting for my first call from my tutor! Can't wait to get going, all looks really interesting. I'm in Hertfordshire and will be going to the Westfield/Watford face to face meetings -anyone else? Also what degree are you going to do? I'm still deciding between Humanities and English.
