OMG, it could be mid-January before my assignment is due back. I submitted the day before yesterday and, due to the OU Christmas break and an extension, the clock on 10 working days ticks down on the 12th January. I am sure that is an unintended consequence or just poor administration.
This is what the OU said:
12 Dec 2014
Return of TMA 02
Tutors are expected to return assignments within 10 working days of the cut-off date. Working days do not include weekends, bank holidays or University closure days.
Please note that, due to the Christmas break, there may be a delay in the return of TMA 02. If your tutor is located outside Scotland your marked assignment should be returned to you by 5th January. If your tutor is located in Scotland you should receive your marked assignment by 6th January (this is due to the extra bank holiday in Scotland on 2nd January).
All students should receive feedback on TMA 02 well in advance of the 29th January cut-off date for TMA 03.

TMA02 2014
Hi Dave, I wonder if you can help. I'm retaking this module and I wonder if you have a record of the question for TMA 02 Part 1. As I have a partially completed version of lasts years, and if the question is focusing on the same linguistic feature, that would be very helpful.
My email is Jackcabnory at Gmail dot com if you would like to reply that way.
Many thanks
Lee
