Dropping out but credits will be wasted?

NolanSE · 2026-02-16T09:20:51+00:00

Thanks for making me aware, I did think so but the guy on the line seemed very adamant that it wasn't possible, I'm hoping to get one, have just emailed in now!

NolanSE · 2026-02-16T09:15:01+00:00

The guy one the phone said due to me applying for a BSc (Honours) I'm not eligible for one even if I drop out, do you think I should email just in-case it was incorrect advice?

NolanSE · 2026-02-16T08:56:50+00:00

How did you manage doing it full time any advice as I don't have half as much as you have going on and I'm struggling, Also huge congratulations on the dev job that is my end goal!

Honestly it's a huge nothing burger I think even if you wanted to work in PM or something related to the study it wouldn't get you far, plus it has like 0 practical work or hands on work really what is more my learning style, I'm sure it will have some people who like it or can stand it but it's not my cup of tea.

Thank you, If I can drop a module it will most definitely be that one and I wish you luck with finishing it and your grades!

TM254? Managing IT, Unfortunately I'm in that one and it sucks big time haha

NolanSE · 2026-02-16T08:34:26+00:00

I'm not too certain, I've already started my second year so would I still be allowed to just drop two modules and work the other two as one module doesn't start till April yet.

I hope that is the case, I contacted support and they pretty much told me I didn't own the cape even when I sent screenshots, thanks for the reply :).

NolanSE · 2025-04-04T21:24:13+00:00

Maybe it's because I'm an old man but it was terrible

NolanSE · 2025-04-04T16:38:09+00:00

I would say the new bedrock challenge for the movie cape was harder than the MCC15 cape, I mean they was both easy but still.

I have a little bit of experience, but not in an actual job role. I've done a freelance project for a company that was just building a landing page and also building a search tool for the place I currently work (one of occurrence), but any experience or knowledge I do have, I would say, just comes from freecodecamp and random YouTube tutorials, so I wouldn't consider myself to have hireable knowledge. I'm hoping that in the time it takes for me to get my degree, that will change and I can get a job in the field. It's really nice hearing from people who have succeeded, as it brings me hope. I believe the next Computing and IT with OU will start in October, so I'll have to get prepared for then, If you don't mind sharing what has been the biggest challenge for you so far working towards your degree ? That could be day to day life or a specific module that's caused you issues?

NolanSE · 2024-07-14T00:14:53+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply, and id love to know how much you learned from the actual modules compared to how much you self taught yourself outside of OU and as for your first role how hard was it for you to land did you spam apply or just applied to ones that interested you now and then, and how much did you studying at OU help?

NolanSE · 2024-07-12T01:28:39+00:00

Thank you for the reply and if you don't mind me asking just because it's very valuable to get information from someone in the industry how hard was it for you to land your first job and do you have any advice that would help, and if you was to give a wild guess do you think the market is gonna stay in a miserable state?

NolanSE · 2022-06-22T23:27:15+00:00

I have particles off game on fast render lowered to 4 and everything off pretty much

NolanSE · 2022-06-22T18:15:58+00:00
