One TMA has returned

This announcement about my assessment surprised me for two reasons. Firstly, this TMA was marked on the day after the cut-off date and secondly I scored 100%, so I have now accumulated 9.41% towards my final module score. Only an additional 30.59% needed to pass MST124-26B. I can't complain about the tutor lottery on this occasion, because the tutor who marked this is the best I have had from the OU for a long long time.

TMA04 for S283 is another matter however. I sent it off on 3rd May and was supposed to have it returned on Thursday 21st but I received an email from my tutor apologising for it being late and saying that they hope to have it returned to me by Bank Holiday Monday 25th. It's not that important that its late, just annoying because feedback (positive or otherwise) and the feeling of 'completion' can be very motivating.

Last week was a bit unusual in that I had no tutorials whatsoever, for either module.
