Well, here I am, almost at the end of another OU year, the year that should secure me a BSc with Honours 2:1 or First (touch wood). It's been a busy old year, particularly from the spring when I started back at work part-time. Juggling the two courses, family and work hasn't been easy! I think it shows in my assignment marks for U316, Environmental Web. Not only have a developed a growing hatred of the course but also a 'can't be bothered, too much else to do' attitude, as demonstrated by my latest assignment grades:
TMA1 85%
TMA2 90%
TMA3 55%
TMA4 66%
TMA5 not submitted!
On the other hand I have enjoyed KE312 Working With Children and Families and that's reflected in my marks:
TMA1 75%
TMA2 82%
TMA3 86%
TMA4 80%
TMA5 82%
I have one assignment for each course due back soon and these will determine my overall assessment score, along with my exam and end of course assessment marks.
All that remains to be done (I use the word 'all' loosely, it's actually pretty daunting!) is a 3000 word webpage, a 1500 word review of my project and a 2000 word essay for U316, and a whole bunch of revision for KE312's exam.
Once that's all out of the way and I have spent a week in recovery it's onward with the Masters. ED840, Child Development in Families, School and Society will be arriving on my doormat shortly, but I won't be tearing open the box until post-exam. Had to sign up for one more under-grad course because I discovered the OU doesn't accept Tesco Deal Tokens for post-grad study, so D270 Family Meanings is also in the running from October.
Now work in the pipeline, other than the odd bit of tutoring here and there, so I have no excuse but to get on with it!
