Im sori I dnt actually speak like that but being a student and a normal 24yr old who admittitly is addicted to her Phone i do lapse and more often than not revert to forgetting to add a letter to make my words complete. I do not deem this as lazy nor ignorant and i dnt feel that my abbreviations are that different from using DS, DH and FIL on here. I have been told that to use such 'txt spk' or to not write my words completley i will be hated on mumsnet. So am i being unreasonable if i forget my stupid letters?? Think bloody not! Ps, am crap at spelling, does mean im thick though does it

I was right - I think yours is great!! You included way more examples than me, not difficult to read etc.

What feedback did you get? Constructive?

FAQinglovely · 17/06/2009 22:50

yea - was constructive in one sense, in that she told me what I needed to improve...........but I already knew that as I rushed to get it done, had sent her a message on the Wednesday morning for an extension, hadn't heard back from her so rushed to get "something" down to send, sent it off on the Thursdays night...

10am Friday morning "yes of course no problem"

well it's too frigging late now LOL.

cordonbleugh · 17/06/2009 22:51

lol I got 74% for that one, 71% for the essay, the other 3 marks for forums.

I hate waiting!! I went to the tutorial, and she told us when she left that she was off to mark them that afternoon...........was aaaages before we got them back!!

What did you get then? spill

FAQinglovely · 17/06/2009 22:54

I got 69% - 64 for essay, not sure how the other marks added up as I hardly posted LOL.

cordonbleugh · 17/06/2009 23:02

Thats a good mark!! 30% above the pass mark!

I hardly posted either - and as far as I can recall, no questions/activities were set in the forums for tma4? So how do we get the marks?

Unless posting in the cubes/coursewide counts!

FAQinglovely · 17/06/2009 23:04

yea - my best suprise mark was TMA2 - I had a weeks extension and still rushed to finished it and it really was absolutely TERRIBLe - no seriously it was - I was expecting to fail it, no references, rushed, basically my "draft" type up of it striaght out of my head sent off and I still got 53% for the esssay.

I came to the conclusion (from the feedback I got) that you not only have to write appalling essays, but also show NO understanding of the courswork whatsoever to fail it .
