I've had my results from T211.

All I can say is .......... WOOO  HOOOObig grin

I thought I was looking at 70 to 80% for the exam.  I'd have been happy with that.  A good solid second pass would have set up my degree target nicely.  So how happy was I when i returned from work late last night and opened my e-mail to discover that I'd achieved a score of 86% in the exam.approve

I'm still grinning now.  A distinction and a place in the top 8% of students on the module.

Better still I've just claimed my Diploma of Higher Education.  1/2 the point from unused modules.  This leaves my next goal of my BSc in Design and Innovation neatly with 1/3 of it's intended points coming from unclaimed courses.  Happily, 30 points are already in the bank,as I jumped over the DHE line with some clearancewink, and the next 90 should be done by early 2015.

So now I get to put Dip.H.E. after my name.

All in all I'm rather chuffed.

Last week was a good weeksmile

I got my results from U101 and I'm really pleased with them. Who wouldn't be happy with an average over 80% between OCAS an EMA.  So I now have a Certificate of Higher Education (Open) (K05) comprising modules in design, engineering and business. Not bad considering I didn't even register for this qualification.

If that wasn't enough, I also got my result for B121 and, again, I was pleased with the mark at around 80% average. This meant I qualified for a Certificate in Business Studies (C63). So, after 20 months of studying, I have my first qualifications but, of course, they won't be the last and, just to gild the lily even further, my first TMA from B322-investigating entrepreneurial opportunities, has been marked. I was a bit apprehensive about B322. It's my first level 3 course and I jumped straight into it from level 1 so I was concerned about whether I could work to the required standard. It seems that my worries were unfounded as I got 76% for TMA01. I'm realy pleased with this and it's given me a great confidence boost for the rest of the course.
