What is a TMA? | Open University

[@laurence3253]

Do you think the cisco module is good enough to pass the cisco CCNA afterwards?

Hey, thanks a lot for the videos! I would like to ask you something. Have you considered to move during the course to a brick university? Do you believe it would be widely accepted the credits from OU? I was thinking in getting 120 credits at OU and then apply somewhere else. Thanks!

I haven’t considered it so I haven’t looked in to it. My advice would be to get in contact with OU and the other university you are wanting to study at. I haven’t heard much of people moving universities during a degree, I’m sure it’s been done but not sure how it works.

I submitted a TMA one minute after the cut off time would it get marked down do you think?

[@dream-dr2qt]

So all TMA questions are available at the start of the module ?

[@greatchain]

Yes

[@aadelami1980]

I thought TMAs were essays with bibliographies at the end.

[@TomWagstaff]

They could be for some modules and course however from my experience they’ve mostly consisted of answering questions, practical activities with the occasionally essay/report as well

[@maverickhistorian6488]

I've just finished my History degree, and my TMAs have always included in text referencing, along with a bibliography at the end. It is important to cite your sources, to avoid allegations of plagiarism.
