Online tutorial & conferencing

July 21, 2006 at 9:28 pm (Ramblings on)

Gone very quiet in my tutor-group. I know I am not a saint in that I didn’t take part in the previous online tutorial. A couple of people have started the ball rolling in the life-writing online tutorial. I am not sure if I will get round to participating. The main TG conference is quiet.

My enthusiam has waned – remember back in January/February, we were all eager!

I shall plod along and get some sort of thing written for TMA 04. Haven’t started looking at the ECA.

Post mortem on tmas 02 and 03

July 9, 2006 at 4:03 pm (My Writings, Open University, Ramblings on)

Just got tma 03 back, guess what, it is competently conceived. Is this all I can write, nothing outstanding?

TMA 02 seemed to be more of something you’d find in a soap opera – it was overdramatic. I had rushed it, and what with computer problems, didn’t really do the story justice.

Poetry – I pulled my hair out over this section – I couldn’t get into any of the activities, didn’t have any inspiration or interest in them. Last month really seemed like a waste of £500 on a course when I couldn’t write, couldn’t garden (clubroot, slungs & snails, various pesties), had lack of energy to do things (including those I enjoyed) and didn’t sleep well.

TMA03 – I concentrated more on form and rhyme than on rhythm which the tutor said was the more important element in a poem. One line I was even scraping the bottom of the barrel, though I disagree with this comment.

Oh well, looks like I am going for a grade 3 pass.
