MU123 - iCMA42 results and TMA03

Visible to anyone in the world

Received my results through fro iCMA42 and am really happy with it, I've not dropped a single mark on the first two iCMAs so I can't ask for much more than that.

Almost completed the third TMA now, looks to be the meatiest bit of work on this module so will be happy once its submitted.  My answer sheet is a bit of a beast now, 11 pages and counting plus 3 graphs.

Still really enjoying the module, the way the material is all laid out really makes it interesting and easy to follow.  The course is definitely getting more complex as it progresses so I'm really looking forward to taking on the next step with MST124 next year.

iCMA 41 Results, iCMA 42 and MST124

Visible to anyone in the world

The iCMA 41 results came through last week and I achieved a score of 100% which I'm delighted with.  It was really easy and I would have been disappointed to drop any marks but it still feels like a big deal!  Its only worth 2 percent of the whole module yet I was eagerly checking the gradebook page every few hours to see if my marks had arrived yet.  It amuses me when I think back to turning up late after a night out to pick my A-Levels up and not even caring what was inside the envelope.

iCMA 42 came out this week and it was predictably more difficult that iCMA41 but I still feel like I did well in it.  There was only one question that I wasn't 100% certain on so hopefully that is reflected in my marks.

I finally made the decision to take on an additional module.  I'm still well ahead of schedule on this course and have found most of the content fine.  The course I chose was MST124 and it was really easy to get enrolled on it, even with the added complication of the student loan.  I have had various advice on which course to take on next with most stating that M140 would be the best choice.  Having spoken to my tutor at the tutorial however, she explained that this was due to MST124 assuming all knowledge from MU123.  Since I feel confident with the majority of the content of MU123 and I will be very far into the course by February I don't see this as a blocker and decided to leave the (probably) easier M140 to work on next academic year alongside a more difficult module.

Fairly sure I've made the right choice, just hope it doesn't overload me during the period the courses overlap.
