A Miss is As Good as a Mile

And so as the saying goes: A miss is as good as a mile.

It took me about a year to complete the TESOL specialisation: Teaching Adults English; even though I was given 2 years. There were many assignments to be done and some of the notes given as well as questions were loosely framed that misled me.

I started doing the assignments for this specialisation since April 2007 but somehow lost steam to continue it with the fervor I started with. In October 2007, I finished it along with the other specialisation course: Tutoring English;did some quick checking and then forwarded it for grading. My grader noticed some student levels were not right and asked me to resubmit 5 assignments. I did the minimal corrections required and re-submitted.

On 23 December, I received the results and got 87.6 marks. This was 2.4 points short of a distinction.

Anyway, that is life. Win some,lose some.
