Home for Christmas

I'm back in the UK for Christmas, Cold, Damp and Foggy, just how Christmas should be IMHO. Lots to do before the day, so I doubt I will be blogging much.

I also have got the results of my two OU exams, as well as the overall course results.

For M255 (Object Oriented Programming with Java) I got 88% in the exam, with my overall coursework mark of 99% gives me a Distinction.

For MT262 (Putting Computer Systems to Work) I got 95%, with my overall coursework mark of 97% also gives me a Distinction.

Oddly before I started the courses I would have said I knew Java better, but perhaps that was a hindrance considering that I achieved a much better score in the C++ exam (MT262) than the Java (M255). It's surely a testament to the OU teaching material anyway.

One down...

My exam went well. Questions were quite taxing but I think I may have scraped it. It was nice to see quite a few people my own age there, or maybe I'm just getting older?

So MT262 (putting computer systems to work) is finished now. I hope to gain a distinction but one can never really tell how well one did until the results come, can you?

M255 (object-oriented programming with Java) is coming up next week, and I'm more comfortable with that one than todays.

The results of my last TMA coursework assignments were, 94% and 100% for MT262 and M255 respectively.
