  • is anyone here studied with Open University. im studying DSE141 ... and stuck on TMA 02 ... my brain has gone to mush tonight and i cant get hold of my tutor ... i completely for got about it untill the other day and its due in tomorrow .... :embarasse:cry::sad:
    my own stupid fault for forgetting about it ... :mad:

    ive done that course..what can i do to help..can you get an extension?
    Have a Bsc Hons open degree from the Open University 2015 :j:D:eek::T
  • optimistic-mummy I'm doing OU study, about to start DSE212 again (interrupted from last year) - I didn't do DSE141 as I did year/level 1 at brick uni but happy to help if I can if you want to pm me essay title etc.

    I find if you look at the TMA guidance notes, and copy&paste these into a draft essay plan, then write what you need to do in answer/explanation for each point in the guidance notes, then go back to the relevant sections in the chapter and start to fill in the answers, you can build up your essay bit by bit. I do some work then save as version 1, then do some more, save as version 2, etc etc so I can go back a stage and re-do if I need to.

    Basic structure:
    INTRO
    what is the question asking
    define any terms
    say how you will answer it

    MAIN
    answer the question by
    giving both sides/differing opinions
    giving references to support what you have written

    CONCLUSION
    what you have done in the essay

    Pls do pm me if you need even if late as i'll be up for a while. Also cut off time says midday but you have til midnight.

    Don't panic!! xx

    Did a HHC in the kitchen. TD wiped, sink cleaned, hob wiped and a few things washed by hand, as well as making a start on the list. Cat's dishes and mat cleaned, as well as floor in front of it. Towels folded and put away.


    Everyone fed and kitchen tidied afterwards. Took DS1 to friend down the road to have his signature witnessed. Ironing is stacked up, ready for DH tomorrow night.

    I still have a few things to sort before tomorrow, but DS2's clothes are ready (DS1 is taking him to friends before work and I'll collect him). Just relaxing with a small whiskey and dry ginger before bed.

    I don't want to go back to work!!:eek:

    Please can I stay at home if I promise to be a good flylady?


    and me?

    Congrats Ionafan

    and todays question is

    Who was woken up by the neighbours goingto work (because the window was open) and thought 'gosh they're up early' then checked her alarm clock to see IT WAS GONE 8 .. the 7:30 alarm didn't go off because the idiot had set it for 7:30 pm

    No prize - well not unless someone wants staff discount at Premier Inn ;) :rotfl:as I either work there or have, apparently 4 active AEs at least...

    Some people!

    Flying? DW emptied, refilled and on again.

    PS The proverbial didn't hit the fan because it was a you-know-what day. Just in case any idiots follow me over from another thread (I'm not saying what I REALLY do - because I'd have to kill you;))

    Oh I've had some good news - exOH has got a job so fingers crossed for child support - because a £5 a week goes nowhere.:o
