TMA01 Results

Visible to anyone in the world

I have just collected my first TMA01 results and I am very disappointed with my results.  I did not expect these kind of results as I have tried very hard to complete it and some concepts were for the first time known to me and this did not help me at all.

I want to say so many things but I do not have the courage to do so...

Guess I will try harder for the second TMA02!

Cheer up Elena. I feel down over my results too ... I think I tried too hard and missed the point a little. I was crazy not to get a copy of the full JCIS report or to read Rogers in full. I've now read 'Diffusion of Innovations' once and I'm on my second full read - and I've ordered a 'hard copy' of the JCIS report. My interest is in applying this knowledge so going back over it now will be advantageous.

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for commenting.  How to cheer up really?  I did not miss the point but there were some points of structure, long sentences etc.  These kind of mistakes are making me sad to comment on.  Something for my english too...well, I need to improve many things as the structure of the report was not the right one I guess.  So, next time I will have to prepare a report I will be able to produce it and make it a good one!

Honestly Jonathan, I have tried very hard and it was very difficult for me to do that assignment.  I have read everything in order to prepare it. Of course the cases were not reviewed in detail but at least those that I have seen and paid attention to them were fully understandable.

Sometimes Jonathan when I am receiving such disappointing feedback then I do not have the courage to go back and see again the same things etc.  But for sure, I know that going back is advantageous!  It was like cutting my feet though the feedback I have received so I still need to find my feet...

Hi Elena

I have read your post and I just want to say that I have the same feelings as you right now !!! It was hard work for me too as the results were a bit disappointing. The positive thing is that this assignment only takes 8% of the total assignment mark. So we must move on and try harder. We know that it is much more difficult for us as English is not our native language but we surely CAN DO IT !!!!

Hello Theodora,

Well, I guess that it is our fate to be like that smile When it is not our native language then our tries are not only harder but they are also more than that.  We have double and triple work to do...but let's not feel that we cannot make it.  We surely can make it and pass it smile As when we are falling we have to stand up again and move on with stronger will and determination.

We are not inferior from anyone else Theodora and our tries will be granted at the end.  I am sure!!!  Thank you for commenting though and giving me support!

Best Wishes,

Elena

P.S. How are you dealing with this course?  We were on the same course before too (H808).  But, we did not have the chance to talk (different tutors I guess and due to the lack of time).  I am glad that you have contacted me.  I was trying to contact you too before but my e-mails were not reaching you I guess.  The previous year on our previous course!

Hi Elena

Sorry,  but I did not get any email from you. If I did, I would  have replied for sure !!! It would have been nice if we could communicate in some way.

I don't know about you, but personally there are times that I need to discuss with somebody who is in the same position with me and preferably in Greek smile

My email is T.Christodoulou@cut.ac.cy  and I would be glad to hear from you.

Hello Theodora,

I am wondering why we are never on the same tutor group sad That would have been really helpful for us but still, even if we are with different tutors the course theme is the same so again we can discuss and communicate effectively.  I am sure about it.

I have sent you an email to the address you have given me from my Open University's e-mail address and not my personal one.  Just to check whether you will receive it or not and then we will continue as we are having the same needs smile

Thank you again.

Best Wishes,

Elena
