The untold benefits (?) of M253

I'm truly hating M253, even more than I expected to having read the dire reports from previous students. It's everything anyone said and more.

The worst thing about it, is that it's caused me to lose motivation entirely, and as such is affecting my work on other modules.

Right now, I'm supposed to be doing some preparatory work for MST121, but I'm on such a downer with M253 that I find I'm not able to put my heart and soul into it despite knowing I should.

If M253 had been the first module I'd tackled, I can truthfully say that it would have been the last, and I would have abandoned my degree aspirations before completing the module.

However, I'm a stubborn SOB, and I'm going to get I'm almost 2/3 of the way through this nightmare module, and I'm determined to see it through one way or another.

And a qualification to boot...

The combination of passes for MU123 and M150 gives me....

Certificate in Computing and Mathematics

M150 Result!

And another pass. I was glad to get this one out of the way, didn't enjoy it much. In fact didn't enjoy it at all. I scored high on the programming assignments, and not so high on the boring bits. The course felt pretty dated throughout, and the programming assignments were a bit Mickey Mouse for me, but I guess that was to be expected. The course has now been replaced, so I guess it was suffering from being end-of-life.

MU123 Result - my very first OU result!

In dire need of something to spur me on in the face of the misery that is M253, my MU123 result showed up today, and although it was entirely expected, a did achieve a pass.

OES (overall examinable score) : 93%

1 down, more (I hope) to follow
