The OU Masters results are in and I got 90% for my dissertation on a reinterpretation of the mosaic cycles in Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome.

I think you missed the well done to the OP by the wayOriginally posted by JohntheBike View PostI started one many years ago, but soon gave up. I applied for credits for the higher education qualification that I have and was denied, not on the basis of the standard of the qualification, but on the fact that it had been a part time course with day release that didn't last long enough to qualify. It was a two year course with 1 day and two evenings a week.
At that time the OU wasn't geared towards awarding BSc degrees and very few courses were science orientated. However, I started a course where the foundation course had enough science elements to generate my interest. Note that I passed Physics, Chemistry and Maths at what is now called AS level. The first few assignments proved to be enlightening as the lecturer consistently claimed that I had not answered the questions correctly and were all awarded less than 15 marks apiece. I decided it wasn't worth continuing as science isn't open to interpretation as in other subjects and I wasn't going to concede to the opinion of the lecturer.

whist not in any way detracting from anyone's academic achievements, should we as a nation be celebrating outstanding non academic achievements more?Originally posted by woohoo View PostThat's nothing, I'm near to promotion on Fifa 20.
Two of my daughters have masters degrees, which I'm clearly delighted about, but I'm also delighted by the fact that I can go to most streets in the village that I grew up in and point to a house that either my father or my grandfather built.
Richard Burton famously said that he'd have preferred to have played for Wales in rugby rather than play Hamlet on the stage.
On rugby, Richard said he "would rather have played for Wales at Cardiff Arms Park than Hamlet at The Old Vic". The Welsh rugby union centre, Bleddyn Williams believed Richard "had distinct possibilities as a player".Comment

Well done. Enjoy the graduation ceremony. (My daughter's OU ceremony at the barbican was really good).Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Sounds a pretty substantial achievement, although mosaics in the red light district of Pompeii might have made a more interesting study than those in a church!
