On Friday, I had my first tutorial with a unit tutor, where they discussed a piece of work I did as a way for them to guage what my writing style is like, and to offer me advice on aspects I can improve on.
The totorial was part of a unit called, ' The Short Story: Murder, Madness and Experimentation' and it was a discursive piece about Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" and I ended up receiving a mark between 60 and 69, which is the equivalent of a 2:1 bracket for a degree, (The one below a First) and I was advised on the fact that I could go into a bit more detail in certain parts, and just try and generally put more content in, but that the content that I did produce was of a high quality.
Considering the fact that it was the first essay-style response that I've done so far at University, as well as the fact that it was timed, I am very pleased with this mark and the feedback I got, and I hope to continue producing a similar, if not better, standard of work throughout the rest of the year and beyond.
