“Downloading It was really good, I actually preferred it to normal classes!
“I found it really great being able to work at my own pace, and everything was really self-explanatory.”
“The biggest problems I encountered would have to be confusion over questions and skills, and being unable to talk it through with someone in person.”
“I found the course was well-organised, it was good having it all on-line, which made it easy to contact you with problems and questions.”

Student ProblemsStudent Problems Downloading assessments and lessons but I
think it was our computer more than anything else.
Trying to manage the extra work with exams and work.
The emails with all of the attachments were really large and so took up most of the space on my email account.
I found it difficult to type in some of my answers for assessments into the computer, because I had no idea how to use the equation editor program.
