My Study Plan

OK, before I go any further I have a confession to make...

I get a bit excited looking through the Open University prospectus and planning what courses I intend to do each year.

I like knowing what I will be studying when, what my accumulated points will be and how long until ive finished.

Yes, I know I need help but I can't help it.


Anyway, I spent a happy afternoon with Excel and a copy of the prospectus and have come up with this plan:-

Start Date	End Date	Course Number	Course Title	Level	Points
Sep-10	Nov-10	SK185	Molecules, medicines and drugs: a chemical story	1	10
Nov-10	Jan-11	S151	Maths for Science	1	10
Jan-11	Oct-11	S104	Exploring Science	1	60
Jun-11	Oct-11	SXR103	Practicing Science	1	10
Oct-11	Jun-12	S205	The Molecular World	2	60
Apr-12	Oct-12	SXR205	Exploring the molecular world	2	10
Sep-12	Nov-12	S187	Elements of forensic science	1	10
Nov-12	Jun-13	S283	Planetary science and the search for life	2	30
Feb-13	Oct-13	S282	Astronomy	2	30
Oct-13	Apr-14	S347	Metals and Life	3	20
Oct-14	Apr-15	S346	Drug design and synthesis	3	20
Oct-15	May-16	S346	Chemical change and environmental applications	3	20
May-16	Oct-16	SXR342	Physical chemistry	3	10
Feb-17	Oct-17	S330	Oceanography	3	30
Feb-18	Oct-18	SXM390	Science project course: frontiers in chemistry	3	30

Now I know that some of the courses listed will end before I intend to do them but they act as placeholders for the replacement courses the OU will (hopefully) offer.
