After having been through the open universities struggle myself I can recommend that you contact your tutors who will discuss in detail anything you get stuck on. I can't stress that enough. Never hesitate to e-mail your tutor. It's their job to tutor you and they don't want you to fail and I had many late night conversations with my tutors during my "fuck this, I quit" episodes. Also get on blackboard and try to connect with other students, get e-mail addresses and organize times where you can study together. Everything you need to pass the subject is there.

I love how the t.v spots imply that studying through open is easy as 'done'. Total bullshit.

it is either a debit or a credit.
easy 50/50 chance to pass accounting.

Accounting can be a bit of a bummer. Stats was by far the hardest for me.
... at least when you finish the degree you can look forward to the chartered accountants...

im struggling a bit with statistics

what in particular? i might be able to help. pm me.

I do open uni, defo recommend contacting the tutor as much as possible for help, they are generally very good. Also hit up fellow students on the course via the forums provided by the open uni to organise group study sessions. Don't they have regular classroom tutorials you can attend? My courses to-date have offered this though I rarely go.

Also I'd say always read the student notes section of the assignment booklet for your particular assignment, it makes it very clear exactly what you need to have in the assignment.

You don't need to be good at maths to be an accountant, I'm living proof of that.

Well, I am decent at basic maths is my head but anything more than + - / * % and it's all over for me.

How deep can you suck a cock?

Is that what you said to all your students ?
