This course is an introduction to studying the arts and humanities. It takes you through a series of exercises designed to develop your approach to study and learning at a distance and improve your confidence as an independent learner.
This OpenLearn course provides a sample of Level 1 study in Arts and Humanities.
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- understand more clearly the reasons for studying the arts and humanities
- demonstrate an awareness of the basic skills and techniques for studying at a distance.
This course is an introduction to studying the arts and humanities. It takes you through a series of exercises designed to develop your approach to study and learning at a distance and improve your confidence as an independent learner.
So this introductory course will serve several purposes
- First of all, they will give you the experience of working through study material on your own.
- Secondly, this material will introduce you to, or renew your acquaintance with, the tools of study that you will need.
We also want to introduce you to the distance-teaching technique used in this course, which is to offer you a point at which to stop so that you can work out your response to a question, and then read our discussion. The stopping-point is signalled as an Exercise, followed by a pause, and then Discussion. We hope that this system will give you the feel of a dialogue such as you would have in a tutorial, with tutor and other students. You will get the best results if you actively engage in the process: though it may seem tempting to read straight on to our discussion, you will be a more effective learner if you work out your response first, because you will then have something on which to measure our discussion.
We suggest also that at this point you equip yourself with a note book to use to complete exercises. Alternatively, you may wish to use the course Forum to record your responses.
For the first dialogue, then, let me ask you a question
Why have you chosen this course?
Please jot down your reasons for choosing this course, either in your notebook or in the course Forum. We suggest you list six points, but it doesn't matter if you record less than six reasons or whether you want to write more. Remember, there are no wrong or right answers here!
So, now let us return to your reasons for choosing this course. First, though, you may like to know of some of the reasons given by learners registered with the OU to study the arts and humanities:
I was good at English and history at school. I think I'll enjoy studying them further.
I never did all I could at school and I wasted my time. Now that I have a chance to do some study I want to take it.
I've spent some years doing a job which does not particularly interest me, and I need some kind of intellectual challenge. I want to meet other students, too.
I have always promised myself that I would find out what arts subjects are all about, and now I have the time.
How do these reasons compare with the ones you wrote down? If they make you want to add to your own list, please do so. We want you to end up with a list of no more than six reasons that begin to identify why you have chosen to study the arts. Once you have your list, please go on to the next exercise
Record your six reasons, but this time try to place your reasons in rank order, beginning with the reasons that seem most important to you.
Let us continue this process of thinking, writing and sifting. As we have suggested, many students approaching study have worries about what lies ahead. Let's look at some worries that students have expressed to us. We will give you six statements; identify any that apply to you on a list, and add others you may have. Identifying these helps towards a constructive assessment of your own situation. Again, rank them in order:
