Anyone else doing OU ea300 children's literature??

[bananamam]

As the title says really!! Looking for other people who are doing this course or similar and we can spur each other on!!

Sorry I'm not doing it (I did think about it though, but 'little women' put me right off, I'd be interested to find out whether it's possible to just skip the books you really can't bear.)I've just started DD306 Living Political Ideas

I am! Writing about Northern Lights for TMA1. In fact you have distracted me from my work... :D
How are you finding it? It is my first level 3 course, and is a bit daunting!

Ah hello!!!! I did Harry potter....mainly because I already owned the book

It's my second level three but my last was creative writing. So it's been a while since I have done academic writing....this is after a two year OU break!! So far so good

Just submitted tma but think I referenced it all wrong. Yikes...are you done?

Just done now but will be submitting it tonight, because I need to sort out my references too. Haha.

Got to dash now, will be late for childminder... I will return to discuss more later!

Referencing is awful....it took me an hour!! I will be amazed if I pass.n I spent four hours doing the essay and it as my first draft that I submitted not my best work by any stretch....

Hello both. Another EA300er here. How did you do on TMA01? Just got my result today...67%.. a reall de-motivator of a score :( Struggling through Little Women now, 8 hours of time to kill on train journeys in the next couple of days should sort it out.

Hi all - I did this the year before last and really enjoyed it. I did ok, so if I can be of any help any time, just shout! Good luck with it all. Have to say my favourite book was Bog Child - is it still on the syllabus?

Eek I forgot about this thread!!! I got 52 percent my lowest score ever for a tma!!! I am usually up in the 80s....dreading the next one!!

Nope bog child is not on the reading list, was it good?

Anyone else tying themselves up in knots over TMA02 (Option 2)? Just when I think I've got it I think of something that doesn't fit with my line of argument!
Decided to do option 2 after not feeling confident about knowing the characters well enough to do option 1, not sure it was the right thing to do but too late now!
And I think I have got totally confused about what is actually irony and what isn't in TL. Am I just thick or does that just show the RLS was a master of his craft?

Hi just stumbled across this discussion and I'm starting this course in Oct 14. Any old notes or advice much appreciated.

hi there. Any one from seniors... I need your help and guidance with EA300.
