I posted on the Open University course bulletin boards the other day after the last essay about how hard I'd found it to write it. I'd figured that the reason I found it hard was because that essay (and the next two) are in the form of progress reports rather than an academic essay per se. Having spent so long cultivating an academic essay writing style (which is basically to say a writing style which makes me sound really up myself - it's a social science thing I think!), the completely different format threw me a bit. One of the tutors gave some very helpful comments which will hopefully make the next ones a bit less arduous, and a couple of other students have said "I feel like that too" which makes me feel a bit less thick.
