Now that the Sci Fi and Fantasy literature course has finished, I'm planning to write up and expand my original essays, where possible and where inclination remains... For the sake of balance and honesty, I'm including all my essays as submitted, despite some being frankly abysmal! This course has been exceptionally useful for me in re-teaching me how to balance my work and study lives - something you don't realise you've forgotten until you start again!
One odd thing that really irritated me after a while - having to specifically state that I was using British English so that I wasn't marked down by other peer reviewers for not using American spellings. Trivial but exasperating since both versions are pretty much universally accepted in universities both sides of the Atlantic.
