Having just received my final TMA03 assignment result today I find myself reflecting on this work. I am very pleased with my grade since it surpasses my other two grades in H807 but I feel a little empty with the amount of feedback. Of course I should be happy just to pass the assignment but I guess at post graduate level study you become more critical about the work you present and probably seek more quality feedback. Am I alone here? Or should I just be content that I’ve ticked that box and should concentrate my efforts on the next task, the dreaded ECA?

ReplyDeleteHi Mark
ReplyDeleteI Agree I am a little disappointed but it is to be expected. I mark for the OU and get slated if I do not include enough justification for the lose of marks. I don't see this as any different at postgraduate level. I know the reports take a long time to mark but I like to see where I lost the marks, and how I can improve. Like you I am happy with my marks and to be honest a fair reflection. Now to the ECA :-)
Cripes. I wonder if I have a result to pick up somewhere :( I agree with your points Mark concerning feedback and so forth. I think I got unduly rattled by my last assignment as it had slipped some 12% from the previous results and I fretted unnecessarily about where I had gone wrong. I should have been more realistic, more accepting that I'd drifted away from the topic and delighted that I'd done well. I constantly compare academic work to professional work - clients are part of the team and the work you produce is shared so this self of 'being the only one to blame' never occurs.
