Just got confirmation that I am on the course - happy days!

(I think )

Anyone received any more info since being accepted on the course? I'm a bit surprised they haven't given us a reading list or anything yet. Isn't long before it starts!

All the info you need is on the website - that said, there is a dead link to the reading list...

 

You may want to contact them to let them know.

My experience of it all so far is not encouraging at all.

How complicated do they want to make it.

 

I had to ask for information on how to enrol as id heard nothing, turns out its all on 'my bloom' page, my what? figured that out only to be referred to Uni of Lanc to fill more **** out and register with them. I've finally enrolled (i think) and waiting yet again for something to happen.

So to date i now have two different logins with different organisations and respective email addresses. And i get the occasional email to my private mail as well. I can see important info getting lost here.

I'm doing an a FdSc at Plumpton and had a similar round of hoop-jumping when I started (registering with College and University of Brighton).

 

I've set both my new email addresses to forward to my normal address so I don't miss anything. Having a .edu.uk address can be handy for accessing some resources and student deals though.

All the tutors are different. Some reply to emails the same day, others can take several days. It also depends on their workload.

 

The online forum for students to communicate to tutors often remains unchecked for 1-2 weeks. There are also mistakes and issues that lead to critical information being released close to deadlines, or feedback not being suitable, or not enough information being provided to complete a module properly.

 

The class tutors do understand, however, and do their very best to accommodate your needs regarding extensions, support or other issues.

 

I think the key is to be in a year where all the students are proactive in communicating with each other, when this happens, it makes life easier!

 

In my experience this might go some way to preparing you to industry- tendering for multi 100k jobs in 12 hours and not having had time to visit site. As it should be

Deal with it. An fdsc makes you eligible to undertake a role as the person who can deal with it. Deal with it
