Remember: Tesco Vouchers are honored by OU courses.
Did all the software uploading fairly easily and logged in earlier. Didn't notice 1500 others or what colour I was! :shrug:
Hi Chris....seems as though I'm a Bluey! Just loaded Elements 5 ( after a couple of goes). To tired tonight to do more though.
Well I don't know about you, but I'm lost already. So many bits to click on and things to read!!
The forum software is awful and I can't work out why you need to install 'FirstClass' on your machine when you can view all the content online via the browser?
I'm trying to come up with ideas for the session 1 photo assignment, going to try the 'letters' option.
Everything very basic at the moment. I'm not that impressed with most of the images being shared, they're not scoring any points here!
At the moment there isn't much interaction with the 'lecturers', seems like a bit of DIY course so far.
My past experience with OU courses is that they do indeed start easy but get tougher quickly. The OU is pretty good at what they do though so if you find you need help just ask.
"First class" is supposed to have "extras" but I am buggered if I can see what they are either
Have you checked through all the galleries Clint?
there are some stunners there
I Know what you mean about a DIY course there is though a "little" input from the "tutors" on the forums occasionally but with 1500 students I guess it got "oversubscribed?
Oh well give it time its week one, maybe it will be like wine and improve with time :shrug:
Hello, new here ...
I'm thinking of doing this course in October, so am very interested to read your views on it. I am pretty much a beginner on the DSLR front so doubt it would be too basic for me Will read your views with interest!
Thanks for that Cobra - very helpful. On another forum I visit (not photography related) there has been a lot of moaning about this course - mainly technical difficulties with the forum it seems. I'm still thinking of going for it though. Best get shopping at Tescos!
In my opinion, this forum is a much better place for that critique! The rest of the course is pretty good though.
