Wow, that is actually really impressive. The most I've ever done in 12 hours is write a 1000 word essay on a book that I had already read (let alone read the book and then write twice the paper in the same amount of time like you did) and the essay that I wound up with was pretty crappy.
Just finished my final read through, corrections done and bibliography done! Finished on 1958 words!
great job Niamh! Have you ever seen the site bibme? Love it! it really helped me. http://www.bibme.org/ it does all of the work for you. I wish I had found it sooner.
yeah i've heard of it but i think the OU do theirs differently? They show us in out assignment books how to do them. :)
Are you using the Harvard system?Quote:

All I have to do is to finish writing 12K words and put two portfolios together for the two courses I am taking.
:svengo:
I've no idea but i just tested out one of my titles on that bibme.org and it came out completely different.
Goodluck Scher!!
I started my next course already! Summer education! lovely...
{edit to add}
Just looked up the harvard... yep thats the one i'm using.
All done! I've returned my Bachelor's Thesis, passed the maturity exam, and finished the rest of my assignments. Now I'm just waiting for the rest of the grades and hope I'll get them in time so that I can graduate this summer.
Congratulations, Anna! We should throw a graduation party for you! :)Quote:

My brain feels like a piece of dried up sponge. I need to read something light-hearted tonight.
graduation party should be thrown in honour of MH, Anna and all our other graduates!
Hey Scher? how long does it usually take to get your end of course assessment sent back? is it a few months or weeks or...?
Good luck with that last one, Scher! I rewarded myself with some light reading after returning my last assignments too :D
I already got a grade for my Bachelor's Thesis, and it was 5, the highest one :eek: :hurray: I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it :D
I'm still waiting for two last grades though (subtitling II and British and Irish literature), which I need to get before I can graduate.
Not sure. Haven't done any courses with "end of course assessments". Had to take the final exams (they take about two months to mark those).Quote:

It hasn't been an easy year but I am very glad that I took the challenge.
However, next time I decide to complete three years' worth of studying in two years, please someone give me a good bop!
Now, if you don't mind, I have got some chillin' to do...
Congratulations, Scher! :) What a lovely feeling, isn't it? :D
Lovely does NOT even begin to describe it...
What will you do now, Anna?
I am wondering whether I should find some courses to do next term :D
I'll continue my studies until I get my Master's Degree, which should be another two years. There's no point doing just the Bachelor's Degree, as almost everyone continues to Master's studies.
But before that I have three more months of summer "holiday" (meaning I'm working the whole summer with no vacation, but at least I don't have to do any homework!) :D
Have a great summer and good luck with your MA, Anna :)Quote:

All's done and dusted. It was hard going at times but... :D I am glad I persevered.
Thank you all who have been listening to me patiently and offering support and encouragment throughout the year. :)
When should we have the graduation party for those who finished their studies?
:bday_2:

Well done, Scher - of course, we all knew you would pass with flying colours!
I am yet to receive my results from
International Studies
Politics - Fanatics and Fundamentalists
History - Medieval (Bad choice, but I chose it because I needed to do a history in first year to study a second year history in my second year, obviously, and i'm dying to study the American Civil War)
And Criminology
Hello strangers!
Congrats on the great results Scher! :banana: And everyone else whose good news I've missed.
My summer semester has been ridiculously busy :( Hopefully with my six-week course finished, I'll have a little more time to be around!
So now after I do my first year at GPRC I'm transferring to Vancouver, British Columbia instead of Camrose, Alberta. Better forests for a forestry science student (redwoods!). The place gets so much precipitation that it's technically considered a rainforest. I'm VERY excited, the terrain should be much better than stupid farmland Alberta. The tuition at UBC is a couple of hundred cheaper than U of A, too.
The biggest reason why I'm going though is because David is going to take film studies in Van and I don't want to be separate from him. *cringe* I know, call me a sappy, soft-hearted woman. I just like him is all!
@Schere: is that the be all and end all of your studies at uni or are you going back next year?
I PASSED AA100!!!!! :banana:
I got 70% in my OES and 74% in my OCAS! :banana:

Thanks Everyone! :blush: My score is the equivalent to a B so i'm well chuffed! :D
I'm currently doing SA188- Archaeology and the Science of Investigation.
In October i'm doing A180- Heritage, Whose Heritage?
and in November i'm starting A150- Voices and Texts.
I'm thinking of doing Geology instead of the literature course so i might start a course on Plate Techtonics (my favourite!) in Feb. :) when i get the the results for all those courses i'll achieve an Open Cert in Higher Education. :) Then on to the Diploma and then the Degree! :D I think doing it step by step is better for me. At least this way i'll achieve something if i only end up doing a few years.
How are the courses going, Niamh?Quote:

Can't wait to receive my books! :banana:
Knew you wouldn't be able to resist the next stage, Scher! Good luck to you, also to Niamh and to everyone else starting new courses this term.
Me? I'm going back to Welsh - part three of a five part course, each part takes two years - they take us through it very slowly and gently! However I think we will be worked harder this year, the tutor proposes talking in Welsh for most of the lesson - think I'd better the learn the Welsh for 'Would you mind repeating that, please?'
School will start next week and I can't wait! I will be taking two english lit classes, one being just Tolkien,mainly Lord of the rings and the other one sci-fi! oh I can't wait
Thank you, Kasie. I am a geek (actually, I think being a geek is cool, which makes a dork, I guess :conehead:)Quote:

My current course ends in the end of October on the same date my next one starts :p
I'm going to fail miserably. :(
I also think i've lost my senses as i'm doing two courses at once as another one starts in November. *gulp*
Oh, don't say that!Quote:

I have decided to tidy up and put my assignments from past two years away today. Looking at the number of pages gathered, I could have written a book (however dull it might have been).
Hi! Referred to by Scheherazade! Hi guys! First year in college and as a full time student. I'm aiming to get my associates in science, but I don't know if my major is science! All I know is that I want to be a veterinarian. Let the advisors handle the rest! haha. Well, I am in the honors program at my community college, so I have tuition paid for for two years...if I keep my grades up, which I really do mean to do! Let's see. After I get my AS(Associates in Science), I plan to transfer to a university with a 3.75 grade point average and a humanities class taken so that I can get into the honors program there and get two more years of paid tuition! :p So yeah, four years planned out already!
Good luck with it all, Beautiful! You are going to have a really busy four years but it is great that you know what you want to do :)Quote:

In the UK, you can get certificates (usually one year of study is required for this) or diplomas (2 years) and degrees are usually 3 or 4 years.
Well, actually, associates is a degree. the process. is, Associates, Bachelors, Masters, then Doctors. Those are the four different degrees you can get. and they are respectively in the order i just listed off.Quote:

but I really like learning about different school systems elsewhere. thanks for sharing Sche!
My books have arrived! I am trying not to panic.
:yikes:
Good luck, hope you enjoy your studies. And don't panic!Quote:
