I completed iCMA41 a while ago and submitted TMA01 on Saturday. Both have now been marked, and I'm pleased with the marks obtained. A quick calculation tells me that I have now accumulated 2.164% towards my final module mark. I'm up to date with MST124 now, so I can concentrate more on S283, which I must admit I have neglected a bit. Being unwell with a bad cold for the last few days hasn't helped either.
I had a S283 tutorial on Monday on how to tackle TMA03. It was the best tutorial so far and a lot different to the previous ones on how to prepare for TMA01 and TMA02, which barely touched the subject of how to complete a TMA. In fact, they were both quite dire in places. The quality of tutor, and therefore tutorial, is definitely variable, but that's true of all modules not just this one. On the subject of tutors, my personal tutor contacted me and said they had been signed off sick for a week, and semi-invited me to complain to Student Services if it was felt that tutorial support was lacking because of this, which to me at least, implies a hidden agenda. I don't think any of the cohort will notice or care as it goes, but I may well be wrong with that. On Thursday, I saw a message on the forum saying that Friday's tutorial had been cancelled. I had a feeling that it would be somehow, since it involves the same tutor.
I had a maths tutorial on Wednesday evening. It was a bit disorganised, had bits missing, it confused unit 3 with unit 2, and had all the hallmarks of a 'last minute lash-up' about it, but the tutor was such a good speaker that it didn't really matter. Only three students attended and it overran by about half an hour, but it was still a lot better than the average OU tutorial. This tutor has a lot of potential, and I'm looking forward to tutorials on more complicated topics with them as the module rolls on.
