Hallelujah (i think I might actually be having something of a religious moment here), it is done!
Biology assignment numero uno is complete, done, printed and ready to hand in tonight. I have slaved tireless over the retched thing for the last 4 weeks. Trying desperately to grab every available moment that I could find, even if it meant I was just one sentence further on than I had been the day before.
We had a few minor setbacks along the way, for example last week when my tutor told me the work I had completed so far was not even of a level 3 pass standard. Well actually, come to think of it, that may have been something of a major setback, I think I nearly gave up on the whole thing. However I am not so easily defeated.
More detail you want, well than more detail you shall have! Except how to inject more detail into an essay whilst sticking to a word limit? Tricky, tricky! So I have revised said piece at least 15 times. Each time removing more words, whilst desperately trying to keep the detail required to pass the damn thing! Truly an obscenely difficult task, something that requires a certain something, my sister seems to think, you either have or you don't! She inparted this knowledge to me whilst referring to an essay her boyfriend has complied as, and I quote, 'a work of art'. He obviously has 'it', whatever 'it' is?! I wonder if he could teach 'it' to me? Or better still if he could just use 'it' to write my next assignment for me?
--------------------------------------------
Oh and just as an after thought. You may want to carefully consider adult learning when the level of support you receive from your tutor, upon asking them how to inject more detail without effecting the word count is (direct quote),
"Do diagrams and tables, they are not included in the word count."
A woman of few words (well outside the classroom anyway). She clearly has 'it' as well...*sigh*
