How the OU's M801 Research Project set me up for further research with 1 word of feedback.

I finally received the last module with the OU to complete my MSc in Computing for Commerce and Industry.

The news has left me disappointed due to the lack of meaningful feedback.

The last two submissions for the M801 Project and Dissertation were the 15,000 word dissertation and a 1,500 word webposter. This was the first time that I had ever come across the webposter idea. So when the combined feedback and guidance for these two substantial pieces of work added up to one word I felt let down.

The OU claims;

After completing this project you will be able to plan, organise and execute similar studies in other areas, understand their essential elements, and know which general approach is likely to lead to success.

Here at WMG, University of Warwick, we give feedback after the aural examination on the student’s progress, dissertation and their exam. Indicative marking ranges are also shared with the usual words of caution about moderation and exam boards.
