I thought, in many aspects, my course was strongly devised and inspiring. Unfortunately, it felt all too easy to become lost amongst a lack of contact hours, and lack of necessity or incentive to actually do work.
For all second year modules, there was only one assessment. This went against the claim made prior to joining that progressive, and interesting forms of assessments were a part of the course – rather than traditional essays and exams. Unfortunately, the majority of this promise was not delivered upon (and not delivered upon at all in second year). Only a select few modules had assessments past the traditional essays, which I know a number of my peers did not find in any way to bring out the best in them. Additionally to this, it felt like any complaints, no matter how many people would make them, would simply be deflected to different departments and ultimately end up lost in a sea of bureaucracy.
This being said, I did find the lecturers to be passionate and inspiring and willing to give advice and further discussion where needed.
