Slightly more diversity would be of help. The faith based information was quite sparse.

I said most of what I wanted to say in my rating for the course overall. I found this module particularly helpful because I not only learnt a lot about grief and bereavement counselling but a lot about myself as well.

Echoing the same as my first answer - I enjoyed the subject matter, but felt the literature for understanding how to hand in work could've been much easier to understand and work with.

Good to study, quality materials, regular assessment, bite sizes, affordable, feedback but more specific tutorial or video recommendations and a personal contact with tutor would be good.

The course was ideal for me as someone changing career in mid-life. It was both informative and enjoyable, with plenty of opportunities to practice learned skills and self-reflection. Marking of assignments was prompt, which helped keep my study momentum going and my tutor was readily available for queries, support and encouragement.
