Fanfare! OU course module results!

[Bernard Stacey]

Please forgive a bit of flag waving, but I'm rather pleased this evening. I am currently studying towards a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing with the OU - and taking my time due to my employer's wholly unreasonable demands that I attend work every day.

This evening, actually a week ahead of schedule, the OU posted results for my latest module which now completes the first of the three undergraduate years, and I have a distinction!

I'm on call tonight and so need to keep up a facade of sobriety but suspect I'll have a quiet glass or two tomorrow evening...

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.

Well worth a mention too! wonderful achievent. Congratulations. It's always nice to celebrate each other's milestone. Creative writing eh? Gives me food for thought for a later stage. Cheers!

 

[Island Writer]

Bernard - serious congratulations. That is quite an achievement. You deserve to celebrate for days...

 

[Robinne Weiss]

Congratulations!

 

[Alistair Roberts]

Congratulations mate, well done indeed

 

[Carol Rose]

Congrats!

 

[Marc Joan]

Well done! I did an OU degree a few years ago, so I know exactly how difficult it is to fit in the coursework around job, family, etc. Be proud!

 

[Jennifer Stone]

Well done, any qualification is cause for celebration.

 

[Paul Whybrow]

Congratulations on your achievement. You could describe yourself as a philomath, which is an archaic word for a lover of learning or a scholar. I might put that down as my occupation, when I renew my passport.

 

[Nicole Wilson]

Congrats!

 

[K.J. Simmill]

Wow that's awesome, congratulations!

 

[Katie-Ellen]

A big leg of the job done AND a Distinction with it. Congratulations.

 

[Karen Gray]

Well done you! Was that for A215?

 

[Bernard Stacey]

Well done you! Was that for A215?

No - L161: the last of my level 1 modules.
Next year it's a course that is 'half-year equivalent of full-time study' in -guess what.... Creative Writing!
I guess I'll be busy on this forum asking for help!!

Hehe. I did A215 (Creative Writing) in 2013

 

[Bernard Stacey]

And.... any good?????!!!

 

[Karen Gray]

I enjoyed it. I can't say I learned much, but it did get me into the habit of writing as often as I can. I hated the poetry bit (my tutor was um... yeah she was nice, but very VERY rigid) She hated my non conformity to her opinions of rigidity. Meh. However I used chapters 1 and 2 of For King and Country for my EMA

Well done, Bernard. I know how hard it is to study and work full time, so that is awesome!
