Thank you! I changed back to a Literature degree as I decided that's what I'm most interested in, so I'm not doing the Latin anymore (at least not for a couple of years).Quote:

Don't give up, please, Niamh. Try to spare couple of days and put together as much as you can. Panic always acts as a good stimulant :)Quote:

I'm about 3/4 of the way through my first year (it's gone very quickly!)
I'm on holidays for 2 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of classes (then exams ;))
Hopefully I can scrape through and get the minimum average I need (already planning my graduate degree :D)
So I finish in November, and don't start again until March - plenty of time for my trip to Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia :D
Where are all the students??
My first assignment is due on 23/11. I should take advantage of the half term and start worrying about it but probably that won't happen.

I will be very happy with 70%.
That sounds about right for where I am too...Quote:

So, only 72 hours to go! :smilewinkgrin:Quote:

Been a while since i posted in here! Finally finished the Archaeology course and submitted my ECA at the end of Oct. Result on 17th Dec. Fingerscrossed i pass. I'll be happy if i scrape 50%!
Just started two courses. A heritage one at the beginning of Oct. First assignment submitted on Friday Morning. My usual last minute panic :D I also started a course intitled Voices and Texts a couple of weeks back. so far its interesting.
KitKats on the house!
Just submitted my first assignment and a full 24 hours ahead of the deadline! :banana:
The next one is in two months' time but considering the January laziness that will settle on me, I should try to get some work done before that!
(Yup, can see that happening! :sosp:)
I just got my assignment back! Quickest assignment I've ever gotten back!
74% in TMA01 for A180. :D
That's great, Niamh! :)
Do you submit your assignments electronically? If so, how do you "get them back"?
Yes i submit mine electronically. You go to the EMA?ETA service link on the OU student Homepage, look at the list of TMA's for your relevant on and click on collect. Then you download the documents; your corrected TMA with tutor comments and the PT3 form which has your result and over all comment from the tutor. :) the mark shows up on my student homepage. Do you not get your electronically?
Hello fellow students :wave: Hope everyone's having a successful term/semester/year/what not, so far...
I just want to have a little moan because I have 1300 words of my assignment left to do for midnight and I don't know what to write... Uh oh... they're always left to the last minute... I'm sure I'm not the only one guilty of that..
Ok so I am seriously looking at doing teaching, as I can't currently do a PGCE or other teaching degree thought I would start with a TESOL/ TEFL but tell me does this not seem repetative?
Especially concidering I am most likley to go for the advanced diploma staright off why would I then go and do repeative modules? It makes no sense....Quote:
Finally, a quality distance learning Masters programme that you can afford! This modular programme offered as a partnership between Notting Hill College & Pebble Hills University allows you to gain credit for your previous training and allows you to continue working as you gain a professional credential that will open doors all over the world.
Phase One of the programme is the Notting Hill College TEFL certificate (6 credits). Alternate TEFL Certificate programmes can be accepted upon approval. Fill out our application form to learn more.
Phase Two of the programme is Notting Hill College TESOL Diploma (Diploma in the Theories & Methodologies of TESOL) offered completely by distance learning (20 credits). The TESOL Diploma consists of four research-based modules in current topics in TESOL.
Phase Three A: of the programme is Notting Hill College Advanced TESOL Diploma offered completely by distance learning (4 credits). The Advanced TESOL Diploma covers the topics of Management, Evaluation and Research, Course Development, English Origin and Integrated Topics in TESOL.
Phase Three B: is the writing of a 20,000 word dissertation 6 credits.
Completion of all three phases results in an MA. In TEFL
Of course someone has offered me a job at a brand new school ( due to open in 2 and a half years ) if I go for Montessori Teaching method...but that is ex[ensive and not really a very marketable degree...oh what do I do?!
I'm also guilty as charged. :blush:Quote:

Way to go Niamh!!
Only one more final stands between me and being at home. Oh, that and an eight hour drive. Gah!
I did get the C I was expecting/aiming for though it does not make feel happy at all. :-/Quote:

I've signed up for another course. Start Writing fiction. woot!
Man- I'm thinking about starting a master's program in February. I don't know- I dread it but I want that degree. My work will pay for half.
Niamh, Scher, MotherH - you are Gluttons for Punishment! But good luck in your endeavours.
Only a couple of weeks left of the heritage course and the panic of the final assignment is setting in! doesnt help I have an assignment for the Voices and Texts Course the week after. Waiting on the first of the assignments from that course to come back. worried would be the word i'd use.
However in saying that i'm looking forward to the Fiction writing course!
Hows school going for everyone else?
I got a C this semester, too. It was my first one. And it was a C-.
:frown2:
Just got my result back for TMA01 for my Voices and Texts course. 76% I'm quite pleased with the result, especially considering the big mess up at the end! :D Now i just got to get the final TMA for Heritage? Whose Heritage? out of the way for Friday Week. :willy_nilly:
Well done :)Quote:

Oh is this a school type/exam thread?
I just took a practice QTS skills test in maths and English. I passed the English (should hope so) but failed the maths quite dramatically. I can do maths though, I just need to recap things, but I'm not good with the timed mental arithmetic, too much like pain - I wouldn't even have bothered with it but Mrs Neely told me to have a go as she had just equally failed. The tests can be found on the TDA website, online tests. Have a go if you are really sad like me and Mrs Neely and do English and maths tests in our spare time for fun. I'm sure life was not meant to be like this...
Edit: do you believe in an alternative universe, for example whereby another Mr Neely can be found drifting around Paris with groups of good looking, intelligent people necking fine wine? I'm just joking, can't be having as much fun as this one...
I believe we may have bumped into each other there a few weeks back, Neely - we paused briefly to discuss the meaning of life but our good-looking, intelligent friends hurried us on to the next party.
You know what this means, right? Had you been at student at my College, they would have sent you to one of my classes to "improve" your Numeracy!Quote:

Just submitted my assignment; happy that I managed to complete it without asking for an extension despite everything. I will be disappointed if I don't get a C.
And next assignment sounds even more interesting! :conehead:
Kasie, yes, didn't we meet just outside of the opera house - y'know by the fountain? We had a nice cool glass of something golden and then had to depart to do something dull (oh no, if it is an alternative universe that wouldn't have to happen of course, silly me).
Round 2 tonight - me Vs Mrs Neely. I'm going to win both today - that is, I'm going to try to fail with a higher mark in maths than her, maybe even try to pass it!! I'm not even going to have a drink before today, but after. I'll report back later with the exciting news of the results. Wish me luck...
Edit: Oh I wouldn't like to be in one of your classes, no offence of course, just would be scary. Are you sticking up for me or Mrs Neely in the second test? I assume that you will stick up for me, not one for supporting the girls eh??
Best of luck with the assignment! I have one due friday. :(
But on another note my writing course is soon to start! :)
:arf: Beaten by one on both tests. Now got a headache with the stupid maths test. Need a beer before I go insane. Did much better though, but oh...
Postcard from alternative Neely:
Weather here in Rome is just fine. Currently sat outside the Piazza del Fancio with a group of intelligent, attractive people. Kasie is coming down in a bit fresh from a Wagner thing.
It's beautiful here. Ciao.
Hold that thought, Neely - I'm on my way, just have to drag myself away from yet another party. :Yawn:
But you still passed the Maths test, didn't you?
School bells over 3 years and never did I think I would go.
They don't ring so bad after all. :)
No failed, but only by two. There not real or for anything though. What annoyed me, really annoyed me, is that Mrs Neely beat me by one on both the English and the Maths. I was not happy about that at all.:mad:Quote:
