Phil and his team of tutors for this course have done a great job in putting together high quality Content and useful Assignments. Thanks to all of them!
Collaboration and Feedback
At the onset of the course, Phil announced the availability of an Online Forum for all the participants to discuss all details relevant to the course. This idea proved to be very useful and the Forum was a great place to share ideas, get advice, offer help and also to showcase some really great work. There was a good collaboration between participants, throughout the course.
I still wonder how Phil and Frances (the tutors) found time to spend on the Forums answering questions from the Participants and also to give Constructive Feedback on the Assignments submitted to them. I always found the Feedback on the Assignments to be very sincere and detailed. This is a “major plus” for the Online Course, considering the Volume of Participants.
