MT365 2nd CMA result

I scored 95% for this. I'm not sure where I went wrong, as I was half-expecting to get 100%. The feedback isn't available yet, so I'll have to check it later.

So 1 x TMA and 2 x CMA's are marked, and I've already got 33.3% towards the 40% required for a minimum pass of the OCAS (continual assessment) part. For me, it's really all about how well I perform in the exam, which is not usually that great with the maths.

Halfway there

Both TMA02's in the post, and CMA02 submitted before Xmas. This year is going fast. Just 5 months to the exams.

Change of tactics, a CMA completed and a TMA marked

I've decided to change tactics to see how it goes. Instead of alternating between MT365 and M336 unit by unit, I'm going a block of units on one, then a block of units on the other. The reason is to try to space out the TMA's/CMA's better. So...

I'm almost at the end of the MT365 block, and have completed the corresponding CMA which isn't actually due for another 6 weeks or so, and I'm well into the TMA too. Let's see how it works out.

I also got back my TMA01 for MT365 late last week and scored 92%. I was a tiny bit disappointed with that as I got 95% for the first TMA on M336, and I thought I would have done better on MT365. Still, it's a decent mark, so I'm not complaining.

Changed the blog title

Since the BSc (Hons) is my target, I changed the blog title to reflect that by adding the (Hons) part.

Letters after my name!

I can now use the letter "BSc Open (Open)" after my name!

I decided to accept an ordinary degree en-route to my honours degree. It feels good in a way, although it's not my ultimate goal.

At least now, I can tick the box "must have a degree" on a job application should I need to in future. I hope I don't need that in the next six months, but one never knows.

MT365 off to a good start too!

100% in CMA41. I think that's the first 100% I've had from memory (I can't be bothered checking back at this stage)

M336 off to a good start

My TMA01 came back in the post today just 2 days after the deadline for submission. That must be some sort of record. The result hasn't even appeared on my student homepage yet, which is a bit suspicious, but anyway according to the PT3 form I scored 95% which is probably another record (for me in a Maths TMA that is).

It's been a pretty good week all round for me regarding the OU, so things are certainly looking up.
