Jeez, best of luck and hope you can kick its arse and keep on showing life that you're a survivor.
Wishing you well chief. Electronic hugs from Glasgow. Much like normal electronic hugs except battered, deep fried and served with irn-bru.
Dude... :( hope all goes well in the future, kudos for knuckling down to study in amongst that lot! My mind would be frazzled.
Can you rig up an Arduino with motion detection and when Wattsy enters a room it plays Eye of the Tiger?
I have tried and failed for the last three days to do any work towards the TMA. I have been staring at a blank word doc unable to find any inspiration to start.
Think I need to contact my tutor and see he can point me in the right direction.
Ho hum.
:C
What're the tutors like for your course? I did a distance learning MCSA a while back and the tutors were all terrible to the point I ended up not speaking to them. The seemed to come across as nothing more than answer checkers, persumably referring to an answer sheet for each TMA rather than having any true knowledge of the subject.
Bloody hell Wattsy :-(
So long as it's not a final TMA, OU are usually pretty good about granting extensions, btw.
So far the tutors I have had have been pretty knowledgable but very dry. I can only remember one tutor bringing a bit of life to a course and that was because his day job helped with his subject (helicopter modifier and project lead for BAE). My current tutor has responded but offered no more than to start writing and attend the lecture on Tuesday. The writing part is what I'm stuck on so hopefully the lecture will help me a bit more.
Yep but for me an extension is the last resort. I don't like extending work into the next block as a lot of people that do fail to catch up.
If I don't have any solid direction on where to begin, I write down a list of words and/or ideas, edit it (add/delete/rearrange) and eventually organize the result into an outline. Break down the overwhelming task into bite-size bits. This also works for coding. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for cleaning up my work area.
