Student Comments
I am really enjoying the Course, and [almost] overwhelmed with the amount of valuable information given! Mind you, I am not just reading the text of your Course, but diving down all the suggested avenues of extra information gathering / learning processes ... so any 'overwhelming' is entirely self-imposed! Once again, thank you (Alex) for the time you have taken to mark my Modules and for your valuable input. I notice you have taken extra time to suggest ways to expand on my ideas & I really appreciate that. I am sure you are not actually paid to take that extra step, so thank you for your dedication!
Jane Howarth
Thanks so much for everything - you've been absolutely wonderful! Clare was a great, patient tutor, and I got all my feedback well within the turnaround time you gave. I have no complaints.
