Signed up too, after all these years of researching I need to get on and write it all up in a way that my family will be able to understand it all. Hope this will help me to focus and finally get it done!

Signed up for it - just hope I can keep up with all that will be required.

Thanks for the heads up. I've joined up, too.

I've done other Futurelearn courses - sometimes participate and sometimes just read through the material and comments and do the exercises by myself. If you have lots of time, you can even read ahead on the course, which is useful if you need to juggle your availability.

Someone on Rootschat originally put me on to Futurelearn courses - Thanks!

Seems there is going to be quite a crowd of Chatters on this course

Don't worry about keeping up, Wiggy - you can work at your own pace and either keep up with the front-runners or just plod happily behind.  They leave the site up once the course is finished,  so that those who prefer to work at a slower pace can get to the end without a struggle.  As hsfam says, you can choose the way you want to do it, and there really isn't any pressure, other than the willingness to learn and the excitement of finding out new things!
