DD209 Running The Economy : Week 9

Week 9

30 Nov

TMA week

  • RepeatTMA 02

    The revision week has actually been a really good addition to the course study plan, especially with having the online tutorial mid-week.  It has provided a bit of time to actually stop and think about what we have be reading about rather than charge straight in to the TMA, usually behind schedule and out of time.

    Possibly as a result of this the TMA has is coming together fairly easily, 1300 words down already so a week to finish, tidy-up and edit.

    However, in order to answer the question there does seem to be a lot of repetition of stuff covered in the text book and tutorials, and the tutorial on Mind Maps which I wouldn't normally have looked at pretty much takes you through the essay plan blow by blow, so although I won't necessarily be sticking to it 100%, you'd be daft not to base most of the TMA on this plan.

    Maybe all first course essays are like this, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of latitude in the word count to discuss much more than we have been spoon-fed by the course. I'll keep writing till I hit 1700 words or so and then start trimming and seeing what I've missed or need to add.
