Well, just over a day since I submitted my TMA and it's already marked. A very disappointing 69%. Could be the worst OU mark I've had to date, and I'd put a lot of effort into that paper too.
Problem is I'm more keen on the practical side of things, i.e. 'getting the job done' as opposed to writing and pontificating.
I'll just have to try even harder for the next one I suppose.
