My first TMA is due tomorrow and I'm only just starting it, good job I kinda know what I want to say. Putting it down though is where am strugling, anyone else get that? You know what you want to say but can't find the words when it comes down to typing it up.

Best thing I find is just to write whatever comes into your head, write as much as you can, then go back and refine it. Otherwise it just turns into staring at a heading, mouse slowly drifting towards internet browser again.

I'm almost finished now, when I first started this afternoon the word count frightned me, I thought that it was far to high. Yet now that I've wrote everything I'm thinking it was far to short. Am hoping that I haven't missed any important points or that I've gone in another direction. This is my third course and I am still worried about little details. :s-smilie:

Yeah, it seems a big step up from level 2 - which is a huge step from level 1

How hard would you say it is? I've just started my level 2 although it's not in the same subject area... Starting the rest in October though! I'm worried about the level 3s, definitely, but people seem to do the order backwards - I know someone who started with the level 3 I'm planning to do and is working backwards to AA100 :confused:

There seems to be more concepts introduced at the beginning of the course. Some of it is a recap from the level 2 just built up a bit more, but others are completely new. And I haven't had as much time to spend on it as I'd like (although things have got better at work now mystery shoppers are done for a bit) but then it's Easter soon and that's mad too.

Man, I can't wait to change my path to a pure computing degree course with the OU instead of all this 'how computing affects our world' BS, I know all this and don't want to write long drawn out answers about it :angry:
