I have finished but not without disappointment!
I am please to have finished the course, however the wording of the majority of the assessments had to be decoded. Not a lot was straight forward. It was easier to submit assessments I knew were not right just to get better feedback than asking on the forum. I believe the forum is for the students to ask questions and receive straight forward answers, not generic answers that have already been posted, then told to message directly through the message centre for further assistance. This really upset me and clearly doesn't help too many people due to the number of times the same question had been asked over the years on the forums was ridiculous. If the trainers had just answered it in a way that students understood in the first instance there wouldn't be repeated questions with the same generic answers. The Study Buddy System.... Having to log into just a get a message is super annoying! There should be an application that allows messages to come though without the need to log on every day. I often did not log on when I studied as I downloaded everything. I did however have to connect through my own social media networks to make it work. This is certainly in need of improvement. and one more thing.... students are marked on the nitty gritty of spelling and grammar etc, perhaps the course writers and workbook publishers need to do a big overhaul and proofread there own work before judging us on our work.
