So, in terms of courses and time to complete the degree, I am now two thirds of the way through the course, 4 course completed, but with the two level three, and therefore hardest and most demanding, courses to coming up.
And it would appear from the degree classification calculator that I have my work cut out if I'm to get a First, the calculator recons that.....
For a First , I need a Distinction and Grade 2.
For a 2:1, I need a Grade 2 and a Grade 4.
For a 2:2, I need a Grade 3 and a Grade 4.
So, is is really all about getting a distinction somewhere.
The level three courses DD309, A333, DD313 and DD306 have no exam, instead there is an end of course assessment in the form of a dissertation/project.
These projects are extremely important to the end module result, the downside is that these sorts of things can be very unpredictable and depend a lot on the quality and level of interest of your tutor. On the up side it means that the vital part of the course assessment is not done over a couple of hours on one day with a Russian roulette set of questions, but is something that you can work on over a period of time and hopefully the result will reflect the effort expended.
I'm quite looking forward to the start of the next course...... but first the summer.
