I feel like I have gained knowledge that prepares me for higher education, and I am looking forward to it. My science tutors were lovely and helpful given their roles and busy lives outside of it.
However, I cannot rate this five stars as some other aspects are rather poor; the accommodations they state they provide are seemingly non-existent (Except for Laura, who tried her best to accommodate my disabilities), communication is also very slow and poorly managed, probably due to the high number of students compared to staff, which brings me to my final complaint being the management. Everything negative seems to stem from it, such as me not being contacted over a week late due to an error in their entry system and in the previous complaints about communication, it seems nothing is made to be clear or understandable for the students, tutors or moderators.
Also, as the course page states itself as "self-paced", this only refers to a very loose idea of the term, as I found myself being told that I was too fast and I should slow down, as "To have done so much of your course is less than 2 months is a red flag that the grades could be jeopardised". It felt rather insulting and accusatory, and I was often left feeling a sense of guilt for doing the work I was given in the way I feel comfortable (Doing heaving research for days, and writing for days, reviewing and then submitting), yet another failure of their "accommodation".
