I haven't had more than a few webinars for online education, but they were rather successful. Good luck keeping up with the course - I hope you learn at least as much as you expect.Becca Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580569483517123620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559941250974523786.post-88523904023607650172012-09-11T02:52:05.266-07:002012-09-11T02:52:05.266-07:00I had a similar educational experience as you, sin...I had a similar educational experience as you, since after 16 when I took my GCSE's, I then focused in on Maths, Further Maths and Physics at A-level. I did keep up French as an AS Level, but I studied Computer Systems Engineering at university, so even that fell by the board.<br /><br />If I could go back now and do something else educational, I think I'd pick archaeology, because I could combine science and history. I have never been able to stand English Literature as an academic subject, except maybe for a laugh at the latest outlandish interpretation of someone's work (when someone tried to see the sexual undercurrents in Peter Rabbit during Beatrix Potter's lifetime, she told them not to be so daft, she just wrote about animals who talked and wore clothes). English Lit was very formulaic when I was at school, all onomatopoeias and similies and really, really crap, hip poetry (when the most important thing about a poem is that the words form a triangle, you lose me fairly quickly). Okay, rant about the bad teaching of English Lit in UK schools over :)<br /><br />Good luck and have fun with you courses. :)Sophie Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768033409563305140noreply@blogger.com
