I had to ask for an extension on T307 TMA 04 as I’d got behind with the practical work for the project. The TMA is in 2 parts – a 60 mark essay question (choice of 2) then a 40 mark project write-up part. The TMAs seem to be due on a Friday for this course so for any of us who work the “standard” Monday-Friday it makes it quite difficult to complete, but I’d managed until a couple of other things went wrong this week!
Anyway, I think I may have just submitted a ‘pile of pants’ but at least it’s done! I thought that last time though and ended up with a mark of 93 somehow on TMA 03 putting a distinction back in the running (assuming the rest was OK) a possibility that’s likely gone now I’ve written something slightly coherent on “ways governments can influence the innovation process with renewable energy” and for the project progress.
Part of the project was to explore and give justification for how/why the product is economically viable (ie… likely to be profitable) and environmentally sustainable which I’d already done some work on. I don’t think I’ve done enough in the way of drawings etc either but mentioned that some details are still to be worked out in time to submit the final report.
Really I just want to be done with all these courses now and complete the Diploma in Design and Innovation – that’s it then other than the two level-1 courses (T175 and M150) for the degree which are a bit of a step down compared to the rest of it (no disrespect to anyone doing these courses it’s just that I’ve already had the difficult bits to contend with so this should be slightly more straightforward than those at least!) – then in less than a year have the degree finished and then that’s it! I don’t think I’ll want to go to another graduation ceremony though, nice to do once but you never know!
