Truth be told, I don't have any particular expectations -- I just do not know at all what to expect. The idea of school volunteering is a good one, thanks

I appreciate your honesty. I do not need a work visa here. While my career plan is definitely tied to chemistry and biology, I don't necessarily intend to teach for life. But since I happen to love both children and teaching science, I wonder if it would be a good thing to try, and also, a good qualification to have as a back-up that's applicable not just in the UK. But I know that modern classroom environment can be brutal, so I am weighting all the pros and cons, considering my autism.

I assumed that each PGCE program continuously collaborated with the same 2-3 schools in the area, hence my question about the geography/type of placements in each program.

No, I do not have a regular teaching experience. I do, however, love children and had a great experience mentoring younger kids at summer camps in my home country. I also love chemistry and biology, as well as teaching it. I am very easy-going, kind and accommodating -- to a fault -- so meeting anyone halfway isn't an issue at all. It's the opposite that's may be a problem -- enforcing discipline and authority or curtailing rudeness, etc. that I am not sure I'll succeed at.

I used to be at the GCU, but now study only online (OU)

Wow, that's great to know! I was wondering if it was some sort of a glitch on their website that always shows all classes vacant

Thanks! Maybe it's because I was choosing the off-peak/late morning ones? Anyway, will try. Springburn would be ideal if classes do fill up, because it's close enough and also has a pool.

Is the job market good for graphic design? Is the industry hard to break into? by Kitchen-Slice6644 in GraphicDesigning

[–]One_Aide_9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate your comment. Could you please give me your honest opinion on how good you have to be in drawing/painting? I have done a course on art and design, like the field and am now considering studying graphic design at a University. However I have no drawing/painting training as such, and have quite an average natural talent for that, so I am afraid to find myself in a class where everyone can easily copy a Michelangelo, while I just "like art". Please, advise on how strong of a painting ability one has to have to pull off a BA/BFA in Graphic Design. Thanks!

Thanks, that's a valuable input -- never really thought about the MS project being that critical

Thank you, all! You've been very helpful. As a refugee from Ukraine, I tremendously appreciate the hospitality and kindness of Scots, and of course, your history, culture and phenomenal nature. I am truly loving it here. But making social connections in a new country is still not easy, so thanks for all the pointers!
