Post exam musings

So, that's the exams over for another year. Mmm, not sure how I've done. The S260 exam was lovely - I wanted to take the rock samples home with me - isn't that sad? We had a lovely granite and an oolitic limestone - and a thin section of garnet mica schist.

Ecology was another matter - what a strange exam paper. I got the impression the examiners had just run out of question ideas - as it was the last year of the course. One of the longest running OU courses - 32 years! Anyway, the essay questions were, well, rather vague. Which may be good or bad, depending how you look at it. I certainly managed to shoe-horn every concept I could remember into mine :O)

Anyway, post-exam lull now. Only not making it such a lull. Determined to be better organised next year (not doing as many courses, so should be relatively easy!), so already making a start on pre-reading!

Oceanography (S330) and the Geological Record of Environmental Change (S369) next year, plus associated summer school (back to Durham!).
