Hi Sue,
Good to see you again……met you for the first time at Leicester last Nov 2011.
I’ve also had a very good experience at Leicester and I’ve just started on module 4.I must say your recommendations came at the right time.I’m still battling with finding the topic but i know these books will come in handy.
All the best for you,
Cole
Hi Cole,
Thank you for your posting. My apologies for the late reply – I’ve been on holiday (much needed after finishing the dissertation and then undertaking a 6-week intensive Norwegian language course immediately after).
I’m delighted to hear that you too have had a good experience at Leicester University. I wish you well with Module 4 – watch out for another blog soon about the dissertation.
Best wishes to you too,
Sue
Thanks so much Sue. Your post and the recommended books are quite timely. I was currently battling with identifying reference points for my module 4 assignment. It’s been an experience with Leicester and I am hopeful we will all excel.
God bless.
Hello Irene,
I am delighted I have been of help with the books. I found Alan Bryman’s book (Social Research Methods) particularly useful for module 4 and the dissertation.
We will excel as you intimate. 🙂
Best wishes to you in module 4 and the dissertation, Sue
I have just started with the University of Leicester in February 2012 and I am from Cyprus. I already find it a very stimulating experience, and adequate help in what any clarifications that I need.
These books seem very usefull and helpfull and I am sure that I am going to need them. Distant learning with Leicester University, even if it is still early started making me see working life with a different perspective. I could pursue a better place in the workforce of my country.
Hello Augusta,
Welcome to the wonderful world of distance learning and the CLMS at Leicester University!
It’s great to read that you are enjoying the experience already and that you are viewing working life differently.
Enjoy the journey Augusta-
Best wishes with your studies and future career, Sue
i also agree with Sue. My long distance learning with Leicester has been a very good one. i feel more confident and hopeful in my career path.
Hello Adelaide,
Thank you for your post.
It’s great to hear that your experience is also a very good one.
I wish you well with your studies and your future career path. Sue
