TeT_TaT

Hello all
I'd like to ask about the distance programe giving by DCu
First of all what is "Oscail - DCU Distance Education" what they mean by "Oscail"
I'm going for M.Sc. in Management of Operations

All modules are assessed via continuous assessment. There are no end of year examinations. For the taught modules, the continuous assessment normally takes the form of three assignments per module which have to be submitted at pre-defined points during the academic year. For the dissertation element, you are required to submit a 20,000 word document which is largely self directed, but with the guidance of a research supervisor.

-three assignments !! how they will be ?
-After completing the program is it going to be mentioned that the study is distance education ?
-for dissertation do I have to come to DCU ?
