I submitted my final assignment for the TU812 Managing Systemic Change course I was studying with the Open University almost two months ago and finally got the result back yesterday. I was delighted to discover that I’d gained a distinction.

Does this mean that I’m getting better at studying? Is the subject more suited to the way I think and write? Is it simply marked more generously? Who knows? I’m very pleased though and am happy to take that as a satisfying cap for the Postgraduate Diploma in Computing (Information Security and Forensics) I have now achieved.
