Nicole Cook (C3840943) – TMA 01Describe some inequalities on City Road In light of the study materials, I have studied that I am able to outline and describe some inequalities on City Road.

This helped me gain confidence in studying. What did you find difficult? I feel like I did well on this module, but as I've never done an assignment, I felt anxious about it. I'm glad you found the Day School solution useful, it's great to meet up with other DD101 students and I hope you can continue to do so as the course progresses. Now that you have submitted this assignment, I'm sure you will feel more confident moving forward with the course.
