Title says it all - I submitted a piece of work for the "final year" of a distance learning degree module which I had spent a lot of blood, sweat, research and writing time on, submitted it to Dh's rigorous editing, sent it off on time,..................and the mark assigned is well, meh really - the comments back with it show the marker is really less than impressed.
This is the third module on which the results have been less than good, and I genuinely don't know what I can do to improve them. I've taken on board the markers comments from each of the previous modules, made sure specific concerns were addressed, read the questions and guidance carefully to make sure I'm not off on a tangent, but maybe I'm just not up to it academically.
I really love the subject material, archaeology, and tbh, once I'd finished the degree, had a dream of giving up my rl full time job, and finding something more in line with my interests..........but this studying is costing a fortune, and if at the end of it, I come out with a low 2ii, my chances of being employed to do anything remotely connected are zilch. So it's becoming less pleasurable and much more stressful.
Dh is supportive, but my self confidence is on the floor. How do I get my confidence / mojo back before I have to write my next module essays or my dissertation?
