I'm posting rather than studying at the moment. Procrastination rules...
I have to say that the fourth book of the Mathematics module Groups and Geometry with the OU, is a lovely rehash of some safe, comforting basic group theory. I never thought I would be so glad to meet this material again, after M208 (Pure Mathematics). I had struggled, at times, with the concepts on Cosets and Normal subgroups; so it wasn't exactly a passion of mine, at the time.
But, coming back to it with fresh and slightly more capable eyes, I am actually enjoying this unit. It is basic, but it is abstract and axiomatic, two aspects I very much enjoy. But mainly, this is a welcome interlude from the relentless TMA onslaught of this course and the Number Theory course M381.
However, I see from Duncan's posts, that this is the calm before the storm, for this particular module.
