Motivation...or not.

Well I submitted my last TMA for T173 today. It's a long way from my best work and will probably get me my lowest mark so far but, in all honesty, I found getting motivated for this one to be a bit of a struggle. According to the predictor I've got 81% without doing the last TMA. Top that off with the fact that it's all about PV cells and electrical theory is just about the most frustrating thing I've ever come accross (how come whenever some scientist found a different way to combine units he got to present this combo as a new unit and name it after himself?). At least with physics you have consistency in units.

The upshot of this is that I've been trying for a week and a half to get this TMA done. Now it's done and there's just the exam to get through, T173 looks to be all over bar the shouting.  The exam doesn't worry me as I have a background in engineering and could have passed it without doing the coursework.  Don't want to sound cocky but that's just the way it is - most of the course has just been a repeat of ground I've covered at least twice previously.

One thing I have learned is that three courses at once is too much. It's too stressful to worry about falling behind with one because you're working your bits off trying to keep up with the others.

Now all I've got to do is find a few days to get a handle on B121!wide eyes
