Ploughing my way through the first TMA. Coding is so, so slow; it takes hours for me to work out what's gone wrong. Still, everything works so far and I'm halfway through (and understand Python functions rather better than before I started) so I guess it's all OK really.
Got a distinction for last year's Arts Past and Present course, despite being well off the the 85% marks. Thank you, nice OU people. I've got 120 points left to do after this course is done. Finding level 3 courses is a bit tricky when you aren't specialising- I did the grammar one which was excellent but I still need another 60 points at level 3. My tentative plan is to do the level 2 lit crit course and then Shakespeare for the level 3 but that means many many essays! I like essays but I 'm enjoying the break from them this year. There's something satisfying about a TMA where you know that if you answered all the bits of the question right you'll get top marks (and that once you've answered the question there's nothing to be gained by going back and reworking it!)
Anyway back to the TMA. I'm also building goat fencing and writing fanfic so pretty busy right now.
