Student and tutor module reviews

TM112 focus is on Python, working with algorithms, Internet of things and encryption. It also provides learning about the law using the internet. Overall an interesting module.

Very interesting module. Plenty of useful help in the workbooks, tutorials and on the students forum. Never having learnt Python before was a challenge. I absorbed enough to complete the tutor-marked assignments satisfactorily. However, I was aware of my need to study hard the Python material. I wish I had felt more at home with Python as I found it fascinating. Following the module, I studied Python for GCSE students, which helped immensely and I wish I had had the book by me during the OU module.

The module was broad enough to introduce me to a wide range of topics in computing from logic, binary, computer hardware design, coding in Python to thinking about security considerations in data storage. All of which helped to shape my choices going forwards. My tutor offered excellent support and the tutorials were well attended with a lively forum for discussions. If you have some confidence or experience with online coding courses and work with computers in an admin or tech support sense at all, then this is a great first module if 'Introduction to computing and information technology 1' (TM111) looks too basic. An excellent module.
