To someone who has jumped straight in at the deep end with a third
level course the material certainly looks challenging! But as I
already have a degree that was what I wanted. The content starts with
French painting in the mid C19th, Manet etc. and examines the idea of
Modernism. By the end of the course I should have reached contemorary
work from the 80's onwards. If I survive! ;-)

I have given up my job as a Primary school teacher in order to look
after my children and to do this course. As the kids are both at
school now I am looking forward to having time to study. I am full of
admiration for those of you who manage to look after families, go to
work full time and do OU courses.

hihihi...silly mups...but at least I got you to admit you are just fake fur
filled with old tights...

I'm thinking of doing some of the arts courses in a couple of years time,
(just before A105), though I'd prefer to study history, I'm not that
interested in "modern" history which tends to be about WW2 and so forth.
I'd prefer either dark ages or renaissance courses in history, so I'll
probably do the art history courses since they cover the renaissance in
Italy.

Of cousre it's fake fur....using the real stuff would be far to

You probably would have enjoyed A205 then (Culture & Belief in Europe)
but sadly that course has finished now although I'm told it's being
revamped as a 3rd level course to start in a year or two.

Yup, had A205 down to do, now AA305 I think....something like that...will do
it in a few years time, after a couple more 2nd level courses but before
A105.

Glad to see about the fur though. :-)

The only people who should wear fur are lemmings like me. and other furry
creatures.

A206 for me. The Enlightenment. Woohoo! After that.....possibly the
history of art from cavepaintings to modern stuff, forget the details....or
the Princes and Peoples one about French Fronde rebellion / English Civil

Then why, oh "mighty muppet" (ha!) was it written without thew aid of
lemmings? You just keep evading the truth like all muppets.

Because lemmings aren't clever enough to write the truth....and we

Obviously the introductory paragraph is very easy because the writers
knew how difficult lemmings would find it to cope with words of more
than one syllable....

It doesn't ever really get difficult, the only part I had any problem
with was David Hulme's "argument from design" which comes up in the
second part of the course. There was a TMA on that subject but
atually working up the notes for the TMA cleared up the confusion.

It's a long way off yet, it's in Studies II so you won't be seeing it
for a while. We had a day-school towards the end of Studies I which
recapped on a lot of what we'd already done and also had some sessions
on what was coming up in the second half of the course. That session
on Hulme was very useful, if a bit confusing at first.

>I'm on the encyclopedie bit at the moment,

That section is a very good grounding on what the rest of the course
is aiming at and the way that the writers were trying to establish
ground rules for what was "enlightened" - it will end up being one of
those sections that you keep going back to.

We had two day schools and there were also a couple of other trips

Indeed I can...oh, you mean the day schools? Cor! I thought you were
getting adventurous there!

Far as I can remember, they were something like May and September. If
you have a look on your study calendar, see when it says you should be
starting Studies II and the day school should be just before that.
The second one we had was at the beginning of September as a sort of
revision thing.

Stuff like Hampton Court Palace, the National Gallery.....I don't know

Oh...I don't mind if I miss them then, been to HCP, and go to see the Nat,

still try and get on the trips though...

I think there were rumblings about a possible trip to another stately
home that never really got off the ground - we ended up organising it
ourselves for students in our region.

>Will just be passing by though....

Much the best thing to do where the Awsworth hillbillies are
concerned!

I think he might have got it confused with the seventy two different

Thanks for the piccie of you and yer socks, looking a bit fluffy
though weren't you? I thought you'd be a bit more squashed, having
fully tested the socks for optimum operating capacity in a downward
terminal velocity kind of way...

Heaven forefend that I should be a killjoy but isn't it time, Lem and Mup,
that you got serious and knuckled down to some - oh, what's the word? oh,
yes that's it - work! If you don't cool your duel for a while, you are only
going to get some anorak tell you that this newsgroup is not for infantile
squabbling. Of course, I'm not an anorak and wouldn't dream of saying such
a thing to either of you. I am just worried about your welfare. I don't
want to see you anoraked by some po-faced refugee from the WI who thinks
studying is nothing to do with having fun.

We'd be stark naked and shivering on the cold flat earth without a poke in
sight. Oh yes, I see what you mean -- on second thoughts, Lem and Mup, go to
it!
