CHANGE! NEW EVENT: Retaining focus on study while in uncertain times
In this session we will look at how we respond to stressful situations and how we can take steps to feel better in ourselves. We will also look at study strategies and establishing focus. There will also be an opportunity to learn about different types of support from the Open University. The event is an opportunity to connect with others and we will have space for general study skills related questions.
This workshop is a replacement for an earlier scheduled 'Developing your essay planning and writing' live broadcast
(re)Freshers Orientation
This live, online and interactive event is a fun way to find out about the OU and meet other students. Featuring both daytime and evening sessions, log in from the comfort of your own home — or coffee shop — to view the event, chat with other students and participate in our studio panel’s discussions.
We’ll talk you through learning with the OU, share study hacks from other students, and offer tips for fitting coursework into your busy life. Hear from some of our academics, who will share practical advice on topics including time management, delegation and the complexities of juggling study with other responsibilities like being a carer.
Learn about the services and groups available to support you in your studies and, of course, get the real lowdown by chatting with other students. We hope you can drop in!
