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
