I forgot about that question MD LOL. In 'their' wisdom, it was decided that anyone who started the Bach Ed from 2010 onwards would also have to prove their Band 4 proficiency in English and Maths. If you can't, then you wont be able to teach. So what I'm doing is the Teacher Education Enabling Course which is the two math and english subjects I need to prove my Band 4. The subjects can be done during the regular semester anytime during the next 2 years as a single subject on top of the degree itself, but it was going to be much easier for me to do it over Summer and get it done and out of the way. Plus if I do it now as a course itself it is free, but if I do it as a single subject then I have to pay for each subject. But I don't think I'll do a summer semester again because it is crammed into 8 weeks instead of 13 so it's really full on. There are loads of people doing this degree too that want a trimester system to get it done quicker, but I reckon you'd burn out if you had no decent break in between.
