Recent reviews
I have recommended this course to two colleagues are are going to enrol. It is through and no easy ride, which supports its integrity.
So very informative and easy to understand and follow
Some of the course content could do with an update. The materials used for some modules are not as current as they could be. Many of the assignments specify that our references need to be focused on those published within the past 10 years, but the course notes almost don't meet that requirement themselves.
