Not sure if that made any sense - just meant that if you have studied at a university other than the OU previously - did you find that the marking is SOOOOOOOO different??

I did the Foundation Degree in Early years at a different uni and I find my whole style of writing has changed due to what they are asking for in TMAs. My grades are very different and its all just so much harder.

The TMAs for my course have not been straight forward at all - they all seem to be written in riddle and you can only start writing it once you have detailed guidance from your tutor as before then it makes no sense what soever!!

Is it just me??

what i didnt like is that it is very prescribed, think that is the word, you have to prove that you have read everything, and are not expected to add much personal input, i found this difficult must be cos i am a bit opinionated maybe

also the fact that there arent always people around to bounce ideas off, i think i need that 'getting together and working' part too

i have studied at HE level but not in uni
