Enjoyable fully comprehensive course where a lot of learning takeaways can be gained.
Could be condensed and possibly delivery redesigned however has the key information
The tutorial day was excellent and my sincere thanks to Chris Heffernan for an informative and productive session. It was also good to meet other people and I would encourage more face to face meetings during the course. I would also like to see a more interactive course with better use of AI to enable students to have a more experiential learning for example case studies and 3D visualisation together with more assignments to embed knowledge. Obviously this comes at a cost but there is also a benefit. There is a great deal of information to learn in the course but the fact that this data can be referenced as a source of information after the course is great and I think that overall the course is extremely useful for anyone involved in the minerals industry. It provides a very good overview of the role of a mineral planner in the UK and how diverse a knowledge base is required to discharge the duties competently. Well done IOQ for putting the course together and I believe it is good value for money. Joint certification by a body such as RTPI would add to the value of the course in the workplace and it's status amongst other stakeholders in the planning system e.g. NGO's and public bodies.
very informative with a lot of good information
It was far too heavy. It was page after page of heavy text that took hours to read and even longer to digest. This would have been better in powerpoint with a person talking over the text. I lost focus on several occasions and there was simply too much information to take in. It would have been better splitting this into several courses.
I have learned a lot from this short course regarding bio diversity found it very informative and the questions relative to the subject.
I have gained more knowledge with legal requirements of health and safety and good communication habits
Very well written module, was very informative, more so on the UK reg's and requirements as we work to different, though similar here in Ireland. Would work well as a published document.
