Have finished the Access course :-)

I got my marks back for my essays today
both 70%
2 distinctions!

I did some math and I think that works out at 68% the year for Sociology. 4 units, where I got 67%, 65.5%, 72%, and 65%+70% averaged, which is 67.5%. Add those all up and average them, end up with 68%. I think thats how it works.

For the research essays I got 72% and 70%, which I'm especially proud of because for those we have to pick a topic and a title and which books to look at and everything for ourselves. I got best marks in the research essays, which I think shows I can apply all this studying to interesting things pretty well.

In previous years I got 67% in History of Art, and 65.9% in Cultural Studies (with a very late grade that would have been a distinction if they didn't have to knock 5% off for lateness. which I realise matters not at all to the math, but I was rather proud of it.)

... how did I get a .9%? ...

ANYways

That all adds up to three main courses as merits and the research bit as a distinction, so I reckon a very high merit for the whole deal.

Excellent :-) :-) :-)


It is finished, it is handed in, it is marked, and now there is only waiting for the exam board and the official final marks getting posted on the Access notice board.


4 years I've been working on this. Today it is all done.

*happy dance*

Access courses - very useful

The best things about the Access courses aren't the things you could get out of text books. Studying as mature students has been a whole different experience than school, and as well as subject specific stuff I learned invaluable things that are harder to fit on paper.

I am happy. I achieved all this.
