Does anyone else find their prep course for SQE2 awful or are my expectations unrealistic? Three issues I have with them:

1) That they are using the SQE2 prep course as a module in their dubious masters degree, which in practice means there are constantly arbitrary deadlines to meet if you want any feedback. My understanding is that providers like Barbri are a bit more flexible about when you submit your practice work.

2) That when feedback arrives it rarely makes any sense. I got some kind of cryptic comments that were clear as mud.

3) For the most part, we're expected to assess our own progress against exemplars, which seems borderline pointless.

Anyone else have any comments on this provider?
