Hi,
I´m new to the OU and I recieved my first batch of material today! Very exciting! The Art of English seems so interesting. I can´t see any information about when and how we are given the questions and word count limit for our TMAs. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Many thanks!
Vicky
Hi Vicky and welcome to the OU!
The Art of English is a great course - I really enjoyed it when I did it a couple of years ago.
With regards to the TMA questions, I´m wondering if there´s a change of policy going on at the moment but students have not yet been notified.
I started with the OU in 2005 and up until now, a TMA booklet with questions, deadlines and word counts has always been included in the materials pack. However, I have recently received the pack for my next course and there´s no sign of a booklet and no indication of when/if it will be following later.
This leads me to wonder whether they are going down the line of just providing it online as a PDF, rather than as both paper and electronic copy.
HTH,

Thank you everyone!
Vicky
