GAH! I've worked on it & worked on it & my word count is still only 590!

How are you getting it close to 1000?? Unless I copy out the whole stories & acts I can't see how to do it! I'm sure I'm not missing anything! GAH!!!

As long as you think you have covered everything then I wouldn't worry too much. I got to 699 but probably added some fluff somewhere.

Hope your little one gets better soon. My son has just gone back to pre-school after being off ill for 2 weeks so with my son being ill and subsequently my husband, I have only managed to get in 2 hours of study in the entire 2 week period just gone!

I got up to 865 words this morning. I'll have one last read through & see if I can get another 100 somewhere but if not that'll do. It's just worried me that my tutor said er as close as you can as the word count has been calculated on giving the best answer...

She's much better today, will be back at school tomorrow so back to normal life. Which is good as I too have done hardly anything the last week with half term!

891 words.

eTMA01 submitted at last!

I feel sick! :s-smilie:

First piece of actual homework to be marked & could mean a pass or fail in something for the first time in 19 years. That is bloody terrifying! LOL! I'm sure it wasn't that nervewracking at school! Scribbling coursework on the bus in the day it's due having not actually looked at it all term really didn't seem a stress! Could it be I've finally..... matured??? :eek:

I think I am happy with mine now - I keep putting off submitting it!!! I have a total of 978 words - but imagine I have probably babbled a bit! Quite pleased with myself really!

Am finding it hard to fit in the time to get this done too - my toddler doesnt seem to want to sleep until 930pm and I cannot get any kind of writing equipment or book out before then as he likes to be involved which is just not possible when I am taking notes etc!

I cannot decide wether to just submit it now or re read tommorrow but I am happy with it and I do not want to add further babble haa!xxx

Hope everyone is getting on ok! xxxx

At a guess I'd say two weeks. Clairelou, did you submit yours early like me? What was your word count? I must say I'm rather worried that I only reached 699 words now. Everyone else seems to have achieved a word count much closer to the 1000 expected. I've almost completed the second tma and have found it was much easier to reach the 1500 words for this one.

Clairelou, with reference to part of question 2 when it asks to explain how law is made in parliament. It took me a while to decide whether I should explain the procedural stages a Bill goes through in order to become an Act or to explain the different sources of law, such as private members bills, royal commissions, emergency and crisis etc. I went with the sources of law as I was able to offer some examples of laws made by these sources. What about you?

HI everyone,
hope you can help me.
Can I citate out of the Act itself when I explain my answer?
Oh and it says to give a word count after each assignment, does that mean after each question? Sorry to ask stupid questions but I really dont want to get points taken off because of something so stupid.
Thanks everyone

On eTMA01? No. It says only use the materials provided & the sections given.

My tutor said it's just the total word count at the end.

Thanks for your answer. Yes I mean the first etma.
I mean out of the Act itself which is
given in the boxes.
I keep re writing it now for three weeks and have only like 44 words in the first question and a bit more for the second.

yes me too.
I wrote these answers so many times and it never seems right. So annoying.
We have till friday midnight, right?
I think i will submit just before time is running out.
I seem to start all the sentences the same way which sounds so very wrong.
Help.lol
