Comment as above. Enjoyed the use of limited numbers of texts - this meant I could read them and extend away from them at my own instigation.

Response: Hi Fiona Thanks for your feed back and as we want to find out how to serve our students better can you please provide me with more details how we could have got a 5 sate rating instead of the 3. Thanks for your assistance. Simon

Very useful content and I feel that I’ve learned some good methods to introduce into my practice

Response: Hi Chantal I am glad to see that you found the course materials very useful and practice focused. Can I ask why you decided to award us only 3 stars as we would like to find out what we failed to do for you and hopefully rectify things if we can - our students are at the centre of all we do and as a not for profit charity we wish to support students to our best ability.

The course content was what I expected it would be.

Some of the reference links didn't work and one reference was to the wrong source.

Not as enjoyable - found the course material hard to digest in some parts.
