The Open University

"The Open University" was up in 1967. -Most of its students work at home or in full-time jobs and can study only in their free time. They need to study about ten hours a week. As the university is truly "open", there are no formal entry requirements (none of the usual "A" Level examinations are asked for), and students are accepted on a "first come, first served" basis. This is one of the more revolutionary aspects of the university.

Returning to "school" is difficult for most students, for they have forgotten - or never knew - how to study, to write essays, and to prepare for exams. In addition to all the reading and writing assign-ments, students have got a lot of watching and listening to do, for there are weekly O.U. lectures broadcast on BBC television and radio.

To keep people from just giving up or collapsing under all this work, each student gets the help and support of his own tutor / coun­sellor, who he meets regularly and can telephone in any crisis or difficulty. The final mark is based on the exam and the written assign­ments done during the year.

VI. Напишите и ответьте на вопрос к тексту.
