TMA05 marked

Got my result for TMA05. 73%

Not bad considering it was cobbled together.

Its weird isn't it? You put blood, sweat and tears into something and get 73%, then you panic and throw something together and get 73%

Whats that all about?

I am doing Science now for TMA06. The religion was just so dull, and the science part so badly written it made it hard to choose. The lesser of two weevils ...
At least the resource book for Wallace is intersting, I had no idea that someone else had contributed to the Survival of the Species. I felt quite uneducated :-)

I am also slightly ahead on Lit. Have finished listening to Medea in the car, and am listening to Pygmalion now

Later all xxxx

TMA04 result, TMA05 submitted Witting and unwitting testimony

TMA04 result back

73%, so chuffed with that. I actually eTMA'd it which was scary and new. Ridiculous really as I am an IT person for my job, yet I was terrified of eTMA-ing!!

I do loathe witting and unwitting testimony I will confess, and no way in hell am I doing ANYTHING that involves analysing primary sources after this one.

Not sure what I will do next to be honest, however the next tutorial is next choices so will have to think it over.

I wasnt crazy about TMA05. I mean I loved Rousseau and the Social Contract was great but comparing a picture to a piece of philosopfy was challenging to say the least and my paper was really awful on it. Just have to see what the result is, but I am not holding out much hope.

I have decided to do history for TMA06, dont think I can do religion. Its too close to my heart and I cant deal with the idiot writer critising it. History is great tho, and Wallace is very interesting. I didnt realise there was so much going on and so many people racing to the same opinion.

Real question now is 'Was Wallace a victim of our preoccupation with superheros' and of so why? :-)
