    Anyone else here doing a BA through Oscail?

    We could use this forum to keep in touch and swap ideas for assignments etc.
    I'm doing Philosophy 3 and Sociology 2 this year.

    How do you find it?

    I find it ok. Their efficiency leaves a lot to be desired but the course itself is good.

    Hi Macros,

    I'm thinking about doing a BA through Oscail later this year. What's the workload like doing two modules per year? If I do it I'll probably do Psychology and Sociology.

    Sorry - didn't see this til now. I'm going two modules a year myself. It's not too onerous. Sociology is fun - doing Soc 2 this year. Psy is supposed to be a lot harder though. I know a couple of people doing it and it's hard word. I'm also doing Philosophy 3 this year. Lot of reading in both but enjoyable.

    The guideline is 6-7 hours per module per week. I find that about right but you'll probably do more reading than that on the train/bus/in bed etc which ups the time spent.

    Good luck with it if you go ahead with it :)

    Thanks for the reply. I'm 99% sure that I'm going to do this. Just need to figure out how to pay for it now...

    I did HIS1 last year - found it very interested but a hell of a lot of reading involved. And History books are not designed to be easy reading :D

    Ah thanks for the reply...I don't mind the reading as I read a lot, and I have loved history since I was younger.
