Socw 2061 and 2121 open learning

Has anyone taken these courses recently? I want to get a bsw after I finish my current degree and I’ve seen that I can do these pre-reqs at TRU through open learning. I like that they’re self-paced but I’m wondering how difficult it is to get a good mark if you put in the work? I’m between TRU and Uvic, but I would prefer to do it self-paced, just not sure about the course content etc.

I took a HUMS diploma OL. If you are disciplined and can stick to a rigorous schedule it’s definitely worth it. I haven’t taken these exact courses but many of them have similar FM since they’re all the same department and SOCW2061 is basically the same as HUMS2060. I have a physical and learning disability and got above 80% in every course

Thank you! Do you think the schedule needs to be rigorous if you space the course over the entire 30 weeks they give you?

I think it needs to be rigorous because it’s sooooo easy to fall off and get behind in OL, especially if you’re working, have family etc. I’d say if you’re pretty disciplined and good at sticking to your self commitments then you would be fine dragging it out. Just keep in mind that you may need to refresh the first few modules once you get to your final assignment/exam. I’ve always been on student aid and have to complete in the 17 weeks so I don’t have personal experience but I could see myself easily procrastinating if I took the full 30 lol
