Is it worth topping up to an honours?

Around two years ago my life was at an all time low, stagnating in a dead end low paid job, so i decided to re-educate myself.
I chose to do an FDA in games development, very much a young persons area, but i have a love for games and thought why not chase the dream.
Well the dream has turned into a nightmare, the first year was an utter shambles, it was the first time the educational establishment had provided the course and it was really bad, it was meant to be a BA but in reality was in equal amounts a BS, this was very confusing and meant we didnt really cover one or the other in great detail, we also had many shared classes with other courses not relevant to ours, but worse was the tutors espevially the one teaching us how to use maya for 3d modelling.
Now my class mates all had three years previous college education in this subject where as i had none, so when a tutor meant to teach me the basics decides to go advanced i was left out in the cold, and worse yet was the tutor did not know his way around maya himself, he was a blender user and 3d max user, it was kind of like the blind leading the blind, a complete farce.
There where many more issues but i would be here all day, lets just say i was paying for utter tripe.
Anyway, i spent many hours doing my research, finding tutorials in order to close the gap of knowledge in my fellow class mates,i spent many many sleepless nights and i was proud of how i caught up with them and in some cases surpassed them, i found my forte was 3d modelling, however,the second year was focussing on scripting and level design, no more 3d modelling practice, and since my assignments had been completed for 3d modelling when i knew nothing about it i had already recieved low marks, this left me rather unhappy.
In the second year, the course was much better, more organised with more professional tutors, however, i quickly found, scripting and level design were not areas i would excel at, again i worked really hard whilst attempting to cram all the college years and this uni year into one, on effort alone i desrved a good grade and i had produced materials/ work for my assignments i never thought i would, i thought id atleast get a high 2:2 to a 2:1, my class mates was even impressed, but alas, my grades was poor, far worse than i expected, the criticism by my tutors left me shocked, it feels like it has all been for nothing, i am staring a low 2:2 to a 3rd in the face for the complete course, this is very disappointing and makes me question wether i am good enough, if i cant do well at this level is it really worth me doing a third year to top up to an honours degree.
There are hardly any jobs in the industry, and it all feels as though its been one big waste of time because ive learnt some pretty useles skills outside the industry.
I am stuck not knowing what to do next.

Its hard to give you advice, but will have a stab.

1. Honours or not? Honestly i dont think it matters, so many people have honurs degrees then I dont think anyone will notice if you dont have them. I always though all degrees were honours until i found out otherwise. I think the OU has to requires additional study to get them. I very rarely see job adverts where it mentions honours. That means its up to you whether you think they are worth it as most jobs mention the class of degree only.

2. With your course being such a shambles id have left or made complaints ,even asked for refunds and taken it to the OIA if needed. Id have sued them as well.

You wont tend to get such a shambles at traditional universities or at least its rarer.

You can still use your internal complaints procedure if you are unhappy, then follow that through to the end and if still unhappy complain to the OIA within 12 months of completing the end of procedures.

You can read or talk informally to them if interested. Im not sure f the first year would be time barred.

3. If you come out with a 2:2 then you arent completely ruined, but if its a third you have a mountain to climb. If you get a 2:2 you have options.

4. It seems like you have a bit of crisis of confidence and dont even know if you want to stay in your specialist field? Its not my area, so I suggest you generate some contacts and get advice from employers or people working in the job you though you wanted. they tend to value experience and skill more than qualification, so its up to you to develop a good portfolio.

5. if you are determined to go into the area, then imo just get in even on an apprenticeship to get the experience on your CB. prove you ability as an employee and work up from within . Do additional in demand professional/ technical qualifications to make you stand out and if its the right firm then your degree will cease to matter as they come to trust your skills.

So imo the big unknowns are your degree class and whether you want into the industry at all or its just a loss of confidence. You can use linkedin or just be creative and get in touch with employers. You can also try members of any professional organisations for advice.

That would be the basics of how I might approach it. one of my friends went on a similar degree , which was a shambles and he left, so its not just you..

GL anyway and dont give up.

Thankyou for the reply1
Some times we just need another opinion on the matter, helps focus you and sometimes gives you decent advice, i did start a complaints procedure, and i did look into solicitors to take up my case, however, yes there is a lack of personal confidence in this specific area, what i find hard is, was i just not good enough or has the shambles of a course contributed towards my low grades, i hope its the latter, but its not something i can prove.

You need to be honest with yourself about your abilities. Back yourself until you know otherwise. Its a cost benefits thing. get the advice of people who know you or who can be objective. You shouldnt be shy from making a complaint where people are failing to provide what you are paying them thousands for.
