It's been over a month since I did any groups & geometry stuff. Given that I have a TMA due in under ten days, and I haven't read any of the units, this would seem to be a problem.
Well not so much.
According to the assessment calculator I need twenty marks [out of a hundred] to have an OCAS > 70. Each unit text has a related question of twenty-five marks => two units will do the job. It's groups and I have enough days. I can ignore the geometry s&^%e.
It's not as if I can make a 1 in the exam anyway.
To some of you this type of thinking may seem wrong, shouldn't I try my hardest?
I will try my hardest but I'll try my hardest where it will do the most good. I need to spend my time on topology. If only because I love it the most. [Although I moan about it.]
I won't get a 1 on topology and I'll be lucky if I get a 3 for the groups. Still, I know that I'm right: focused effort.
At some point in your OU career, dear reader, you will be faced with the same problem. Save what you can.
Oh, and do the stuff that you like...

I agree. There is more to life that reading and writing up each and every unit.
I did MU120 many moons back. I got bored rigid about 1/2 way though and did not read the last 1/4 at all. I scored 78% for both course & exam components.
Geometry is more my thing, I did a whole 'O' level in it!
Anyway, enjoy a good home/life/OU balance. There's more enjoyment to be had out of life than perfection!
