Anyone doing the OU approaching literature course?

[YummyorSlummy]

If so can you please tell me to get off Mumsnet, and go and finish this tma!

Did it last year.

Off you go! Now!

Is it Jane Austen textual analysis btw?

Yep, it has to be in at noon tommorow! Looks like black coffee is the order of the evening for me!

My friend teaches this. She will be very disappointed if you don't manage it. Not angry. Just... disappointed.

Does that help?

Oh dissapointed is the worst! Got it done in the end, at half 2 in the morning. Ds woke me up bright and early at 7...(zombie emoticon)

Good job . Hope you make it through the day...

I've just done the exam for this one.
Enjoy.
It gets worse.

I have taught in the OU.

The good bit was all the really interesting students I got to meet.

The bad bit was MARKING TMAs.

The problem is that they all come in at once, and you have to;-

1. Turn them around really fast. (an OU requirement born of the fact that the students are gagging for feedback)

1. Despite the fast turn around write an a4 page of carefully considered, incisive, but positive criticism, while, if required. pulling no punches.

if you finished at 2 am, I think it likely it will be marked under much the same conditions.
