How will we last? (biting nails)


Are you going for the qualification? I thought the price was a bit steep.

No, I'm only doing this for interest so an expensive qualification wouldn't be any use to me.  Would you find it useful for your writing?

I'm into the second week of my Oceans course now (lots of work doing two at once) and I'm really enjoying that - masses of reading though.

NO the qualification is no use to me. Glad you are enjoying the oceans course. My next one doesn't start until sometime in March. It's the one about Forensics and the judicial system.

Need to do lots of catchup today

You can do it, Sally.

Was your vote right or wrong MGM?  Can't say what we voted as Bionic is probably still catching up, but I was wrong    I still think I was right though 

[Bionic]

I haven't managed to catch up and think it's probably too late to do so now.  Come on then, tell,who did it.

[Fleecewife]

  NO - just keep on ploughing through       Once you're past (or skip) the DNA, it moves fast.  Actually I thought they cheated a bit and kept certain evidence til the trial.

[Fleecewife]

Bionic - if you really don't want to work through the whole thing, go to the end of week 6 and you will find the trial video there then after it who voted for what.  Seems a shame though after such an expensive course

I just finished week 3 of the brain course. I rushed through the last week in a few hours to finish in time after having been unwell during the week. It's been very informative and fun, amazing what you can learn in tiny bitesize modules! I signed up for the next course now , thanks again! 

[Fleecewife]

The courses are a bit addictive aren't they    I started my 'oceans' a couple of weeks before the 'forensics' finished so that was too much to do but I'm now relaxing into 'oceans'.  There's a whole lot of reading around the subject which keeps me well occupied    I've got 'ecosystems' and 'Richard 111' to look forward to in the summer but I'll take a break through lambing and planting season.  What's your next course NFD?

[northfifeduckling]

Now I'm working on the "Anatomy of the Abdomen". I think there may even be a certificate possible at the end for CPD! Then I'll be doing the next "Brain" course on Parkinson's disease and one on the mind. 

[Lesley Silvester]

FW, I was wrong as far as the people on the course were concerned but right according to the real trial.


Sally, don't give up now. I haven't seen the video of the trial as it wasn't working.


NFD, I'm doing that one as well, together with one about drug addiction.

[northfifeduckling]

The Abdomen is quite hard although I've done my fair share of anatomy before! I suppose they have incorporated much more material and I'm sure it's more than 3 hours a week. He's a great teacher, very engaging.

[Lesley Silvester]

I agree. I'm only half way through week one at the moment as I have been away. Doing lots tomorrow though.

[northfifeduckling]

Did you manage to catch the live sessions? I'm aiming to at least make the one in the 3rd week...

[Lesley Silvester]

Not so far. I still haven't completed week one and we're now at the end of week two. I'm also doing one on drug addiction and that has just finished its first week. I've not started it yet though.

[northfifeduckling]

Yes, this one is quite intense! I'm aiming to put in a few hours today to catch up (week 1 as well). Parkinson's ist starting tomorrow...

[Lesley Silvester]

I might just give up on the anatomy one. It's a lot more detailed than I expected and it's not really of any use to me whereas the drug one could be useful.
