[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 36530, member: 7481"] PDGL first week was a bit chaotic - some workshops could not split into the planned very small groups due to lack of bandwidth, not that that really matters. Materials for week 1 had to be emailed as pdfs which actually made it easier to print them off rather than your having to hunt for them on the system. Occasional email had wrong date in it. Some emails sent many times to everyone where were supposed to be for one BPP centre only so people got them 4 times not once (although that is better than not at all!). This is now week 2 so the proper start of the timetable so we shall see if it settles down and gets easier. If there is nothing provided in hard copy and possibly just workshops not lectures (the latter may not be true) then being told if there is a crammer book to buy would be helpful so there is at least something printed off for those who find reading everything on line hard. Would be helpful to be told well in advance the plans for the final early-mid December 2020 final exams in contract, tort and company law etc (exams half way through the course now) would be good eg some students may need to go home to get better bandwidth or a desk which they may not have where they are in a cramped student house. They might want to buy train tickets early so they are cheaper or make arrangements with parents now for however the December exams will be sat. Knowing exactly what can be taken into the presumably virtual exams in December 2020 would be very useful too so people can study accordingly - not sure if that is clear yet but it might be. [/QUOTE]
