text: has anyone done an open university degree  in psychology? i'm thinking of doing one, and would like any comments about it from people that have. my sister is currently in her first year of the open uni psychology course. she is finding it very good, they have one lecture a week on an evening and the tutor helps you at any time if you don't understand. she's managing to hold down job as well, practicly stress free. the topics are very interesting, currently on criminal psychology! you do a 750word essay every month. but believe me that  its better than doing a 3000word one every 2months, like i have to at full time uni!!  you get given a book to get all your answers from, so that means it is not expensive or time consuming to do research! over all she loves it! so,go for it, you won't regret it! good luck!!!!!
