Re: Marks
I just have to say that although I found this perhaps one of the hardest modules, I also found it one of the most enjoyable and useful.
I never plotted my stories out fully before, they just kind of morphed as I began to write.
My stories still do this to some extent but having a clear idea fully worked out, means I can develop it even further. 
Fantastic stuff!

Re: Marks
I have to agree. I always said that I wouldn't want to do the degree that my missus does because why would I want to sit about talking about books whne I can just read them for myself. Now I know; still wouldn't want to do her degree though.

Re: Marks
Irony aside it isn't the tutor alone, the student must be active. I didn't enjoy The Writer and the Reader module anywhere near as much, and I don't think it's any coincidence that I didn't read the reading list, or explore any theories either started in the class or on my own. In the first year I allowed the module to wash over me, it was, if you like, a centripetal narrative. For Narrative Theory I felt that I was only a step or three behind Paul each week because of my own reading, and therefore I was much more active, interested and generally involved. I really wanted to catch up those few steps. It was, if you like, a centrifugal narrative.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the NT module, Al.
As a module, The Writer and the Reader had all kinds of problems: it was structured in a strange way, thanks to timetabling issues, and in addition some of the content in the scheme of work and essay outlines (particularly for the first term) were a little vague and, depending on how you interpreted some of the statements, could be seen as lacking the rigour required of first year undergraduate study. I talked quite extensively about this with Chris last year, and as a result I've rewritten that module twice now; as it stands, it's more appropriate for the level of study and the essay outline is less 'woolly'.
I'd already redrafted the NT module last year, so it had already been through one rewrite; and honestly, to begin with it was a more well-rounded module anyway.
But wider reading always makes the difference between success and failure, as without a broader framwork on which to hang the ideas introduced in the formal classes, these ideas can lack any sense of resonance. So you should indeed congratulate yourself
