TMA01 - A207 - done and posted in record time


I was so worried about my TMA and I am still worried now as it is sent in and my tutor has it.

I sat here and I did it faster than I thought I would manage to do it in. I didn't race through it or anything like that.

I sat down here after I had finished to catch up of course work and I didn't know what to write. I read the question a few times and then something came to me and I just sat and wrote what came to me.
I think that I sat and wrote for maybe 40/50 minutes and then I had a bit of a break for an hour so I could clear my head and to make sure I didn't repeat myself.
I then came back to it and did another 10 minutes on it and then read through it and took a couple of things out and then printed it off.
That was so much faster than I thought I would do it in. I thought that I wouldn't have that question done on Tuesday and that I would have to finish it on the Wednesday and risk sending it in with only a day before it was due.

After that I went back over my first question. I wasn't sure about that and to be honest I am still not sure about what I have written.
I ended up changing the way I had written a couple of the things and added one or two other things.
I think I sent another ten minutes on that one and then printed it off.

So I think in total it took me about 2-3 max to complete my TMA. I do feel like I should of spent more time on my TMA but when I sat there and tried to spend longer on it nothing else was coming to me and I couldn't think of any other way to take my TMAs in so I think that even though I didn't spend days and days on my TMA I think that I did my best and couldn't of done better.
I wonder if I will be saying that when I get my result back ... I don't know. I know that if it is a fail I will be wishing that I had sat and thought harder and longer but I did think hard with my answer and what I thought they should be.
I really hope to pass this TMA. I know that it isn't the hardest one and they get harder as I go along but I hope that I have done more than enough to pass this TMA.

My tutor is a doctor and I find them so hard because I had to doctor as one of my tutors at my first summer school and I didn't have a clue what he was talking about in the classes I had with him. He use to talk to the class at a lot higher level than we understood and it wasn't just me who didn't get it. It was the whole class. Some of the class started to get him and understand him towards the end of the week but that was only just because he was asked to try not to talk to the classes he was taking at his level and to try to talk to us at our level.
He did become more understandable but a lot of the class never got him and what he was going on about because he was too highly educated to talk to us at our level.
I just hope my tutor isn't like that because if she is then she will look at my TMA and think it is a load of old rubbish and I will more than fail the TMA.
I have been so worried about my tutor being a doctor since I found out she was a doctor as I get the feeling that she is too highly educated to teach a level 2 course and should be teaching at a higher level so that people get the proper scores they deserve and not low marks because she is too highly educated.
