I'll do it and I don't require payment. Can you please post the assignment details.

Don't listen to him: he's an Irishman living in Australia. I, on the other hand, am an actual writer - I know an awful lot of words and can spell most of them without autocorrect or a dictionary or asking my wife. I also require even less payment than Magnolia.

Post your details here: word count and deadline and we'll go from there.

With Edrof, you get the bestof.
 
So OP you are seriously asking on the forums for someone to do an assignment for you? I remember back in the day we used to consider that as cheating.

If you can't do the work you are better off learning how to do it than paying someone else to do it for you. I would hope that OU would be able to spot when someone else has completed the work.
 
Why are you bothering to get an OU degree if you aren't going to do the work yourself? 1000-2500 words is hardly a large amount, and shouldn't take you too long if you apply yourself.
 
Marketing is easy, it's just that marketing courses bear no relation to what goes on in the real world.
Also the questions they present are weird, when you have worked out what they are trying to ask and have discounted the ten logical flaws in their vague wording, then it's straightforward.
 
When you've graduated perhaps I could employ you and then you could employ someone else to do your job. That would keep the wheels nicely greased.
 
I do OU courses (3 away from finishing my degree). All I can say is take it on the chin!

In all my courses I was getting 85%-100% for each TMA. I started T216 and got 2 x 64's. Despite getting 95% on the other two I have no idea where I lost marks on the others as the tutors responses were not good enough. Speaking to others this tutor has a history of being a cow.

Take it on the chin, do your best and get on with it!
 
1000 words is easy if you've done your reading and your work. You think the tutor is tough, have you asked them for help? Have you asked them if they would offer comments on a draft as you feel you are failing badly?

I'm a PhD in History, and teach at Uni in the UK (sometimes) and students are stupid, they have issues and you tell them but will they come and get detailed help? Nope they get drunk and make the same mistakes again.

Go and learn, and dont get someone to do it for you, I can tell you now, your tutor will definately noticed, probably even if your work is annonymised.

I once had a piece of work where the student clearly copied from somewhere. The first part was badly written, the middle section was perfect the conclusion awful again. I wondered how on earth they thought I wouldn't notice!
 
If you need someone to proof read your work, then just ask. I'm sure there some of the grammar police here would love to help. I've edited your opening post slightly. Good luck :)

Why are people here willing to help, and advocating cheating?

Because it's marketing?

It's not like anyone is going to put him in charge of designing a bridge or the safety interlocks on a missile arming system.

Not that they aren't useful, shooting marketing people in the leg may be the only tactic that lets you escape from a zombie horde.

But a good marketer could convince you to shoot someone else. ;)

A REALLY good marketer could convince you to shoot yourself.
 
It's not like school or college - your tutor isn't supposed to help you at university. You're not supposed to have "do-overs" on things like coursework, you're supposed to do everything yourself the first time around based on the teaching you receive and your own studies.

If you can't handle that then it's entirely possible university isn't for you.

Go to the library and study, simples. Contrary to what the mail would have you believe it's not about getting ****ed for 3 years - it's hard work.

Hello everyone,

My tutor doesn't seem to like me and I need to improve on my next assignment big time. It's probably not difficult at all, but my English isn't perfect, at least according to my tutor.
It's a business course at OU "An introduction to marketing in business".

Can anyone help me?

There are services out there and perhaps you can recommend some, but I thought I ask here first.

Thanks!

Go to your tutor and ask him to explain, in detail, where you need to improve. Tell him that you need help. That is what he is there for and what he is paid for.

********. They are there to help. They won't tell you the answers, but they can suggest areas to look into.

And it is about getting ****ed. Had a merry time (far too much in fairness) in my undergraduate, and a good time in my postgraduate.

Checking is still influencing his grade and is as such cheating. A university level student shouldn't be relying on people checking his/ her work.
