Oh that's the other thing I forgot. Some subjects will have residential schools where you will be expected to go to the Uni and do face to face sessions. Some of these are mandatory and others are not, but the mandatory ones you have to go to. But I think over the entire duration of my degree I only have 3-4 of them so it's not too bad.

And as for the prac requirements, it's been easy so far for me. You just contact the schools in your area and see if they will let you do your prac. Some will require an interview of sorts, but most wont. It was easy for me as I just asked the principal at my kids school. I have heard from others though that while you're on prac Uni work takes a backseat so if you have your prac at the same time as you have assignments due, it might be hard to keep up. But I know for students in metro areas it has been really hard to get a placement and the places at the schools located close to the Uni are near impossible to get into. So that may be something to consider as well as childcare requirements as well. Thankfully I only need to put DS into care for 4 days out of the 20.
