I took the class a while back but remembered thinking that the bundle wasn't necessary. A coworker was asking me about this class, but I couldn't remember why I thought getting the bundle was a waste of money

Does anyone know if you need to buy the bundle for nutrition or can you just borrow the book? Thanks

Can someone give me their honest opinion on Fashion & Culture class? I have a coworker interested in taking this class, but would like more information. Thanks in advance!!!

Can someone who has taken this class give me some detailed information. I have a coworker interested in taking this class. Thanks so much!!

This site helped me so much, I feel obligated to help. Lately I've been meeting a lot of nurses starting OU and the first thing I tell them is to become friendly with this forum!! Hope your doing well.....

Shadow....Don't stress out. We've all be there. The first class is rough because you really don't know what to expect. Just joining this forum is huge. You will find a wealth of information on this forum. Check out the subgroups. There is a message board for basically every class. I finished the program in April. I do know that since i've finished, the program has changed. But here are some tips for success: 1. Be organized. Map out what is due each week and on what day. Look ahead but try to only focus on the week you are on. 2. Write all discussions, responses, and paper in a word document. Then copy n paste to discussion board. You should NEVER have to rewrite anything due to lost. And FYI some of those discussion responses can be reused in another class. 3. Write first and look for references later. Some spend way too much time looking for a reference before they've even written anything. Get your thoughts on paper then search references to support what you wrote. 4. All TAs grade different. It is what it is. Best thing you can do is pay attention to what they took off in module 1, and go from there. Don't try to compare TAs. It will just frustrate you and won't benefit you in the end. Also make your TA become your friend. Ask questions early so that if they don't respond you have time to badger them. 5. If the software helps you get it. It's an online class with 100s of students in a class. They don't have time to micro-analyze everything. But if your format is off, don't get mad at the software. I used purdue owl. Worked fine for me. 6. Find someone you trust to read all of your assignments even if they arent in nursing. Had a family member who did a lot of interviewing read all my papers. They had an eye for detail and picked apart stuff that didn't make sense. Was such a big help since I hadn't written a paper in over 10 years. 7. SKIM. You can't read all that stuff so why even try. Look at your guiding questions from your modules for reading and go from there. I didn't read. I'm not a reader and found I retained nothing. I skimmed and took notes. Smart notes that I could refer to easily. Now I know some will tell you to read everything. But that method just didn't work for me. 8. Find some "me" time. Yes you are in school but don't lose your life. It's not worth it and will cause the program to drag on further. 9. And if all else fails, just send me a private message. I'll try my best to help you from jumping off the ledge. Good Luck!!

I wonder why the change??

I agree Simply. I don't care how "cheap" OU is in comparison to other schools. If you started the program paying X, mapped out the cost, and then they increase the price by almost $100 without warning, that sucks….

I was just about to post this..Just another reason why I am SO THANKFUL I speed through this program. As someone who didn't get tuition reimbursement, paying $240 per semester credit hour would have been ROUGH!! Good luck to those of you still in the program. I'm sure the numbers will decline with this new rate increase...

I told you guys this class will DRIVE YOU TO DRINK. Be THANKFUL it's almost over!!!

Well that's good to know that it was revamped.

Just give yourself a 1-10 score for all of areas. My TA dinged me for not fully explaining each score even though I did it in a summarization.

This class was BY FAR the WORSE class I took while in the OU program. It was just 5wks of utter confusion. Had it not been for this forum, this class would have caused me to jump!! There is even an assignment that you will LITERALLY kill yourself working on. Others will tell you that it won't be graded, but you can't bring yourself to believe them. I mean what assignment would they have you doing all of this work, only to later tell you oops, too many errors, everyone gets credit for just turning it in ...Well sure enough, that is INDEED the case... Good luck to all taking this class...I absolutely HATED IT!!!

It's open book open note. So you really don't need to memorize. Just have well organized notes and marked pages so that you can flip to fast.

Oh. When did stats become 8wks. Should be less stressful then.
