Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have just pre-registered to start this next January - it looks really interesting. I am terrified at the thought of doing an exam tho! What's it like? How long is the exam? Am I really up to it???!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Well, I started this course last week and have just had first tutorial. It looks really REALLY interesting. TMAs are a choice of two essays, and specimen exam paper looks ok (well, will do when I've covered all the material, but I can understand the questions!) So far I'm happy with my decision to start this year, even though it means I'm overlapping E115 until May. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi I have just finished U212 and loved it. Found it very interesting and really relatable to policies and practises in childcare. Was very scared about taking the exam - never having done one since school. Was convinced I had failed but I passed - very relived. It`s really not that bad - although I realise no matter what I say you will still worry about it! Am doing E215 at the moment - very challenging - and wishing I was back with U212! Enjoy the course and if I can be of any help please let me know. Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks Sally. I'm really struggling with E115 and not looking forward to E215. I think U212 will be a welcome relief from 115 & 215! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have just started this as well. Really enjoying it so far. And I'm also doing ED209 so it relates quite well between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 just to say I really enjoyed U212 and found all the different example countries very interesting. The exam was not half as bad as I thought, deferred the exam as my new born was only 3 weeks old. so had to sit it in april. but was calm and managed to pass. Just be aware that if you did E115 before the EYFS then you'll need to change it in line with the current document. So start gathering now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_15046 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hi juliek, Welcome! I was so confused when I first saw these posts which were written in code. I thought I was missing something! Well I suppose I was! I'm in my first year of a foundation degree at college. I that's what you're doing too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
