Thanks for all the feedback guys.
McFleurry: Yes, we have had feedback about giving students more of an idea with actual course content. But even within 1 course, the nature of the course content varies with each unit you take, so we are mindful that an accurate representation of the course content may not be possible (or at least not in a succinct form anyway).
However, I will definitely pass that on to our manager.
Stick: Absolutely, I think that is an area we need to explain better. The guide is a great idea and definitely something we will look into. We may actually put up page on our website with clips of actual lectures and tutorials, so you may understand their structure and purpose a bit better.
Walkec: Great ideas. Another team within the Uni makes decisions like that, but I can pass those comments along. Re: Contact hours, I think that information may be available already.
Also, I tried to login last night and found myself banned mysteriously. If there are rules about what can be discussed in this forum which is broken by this post, can someone kindly point them out to me first rather than immediately reporting this for banning?
