Question
I know someone who is doing a correspondence course,
and she says it's a very lonely way to study. How is
this different? Will I actually have to turn up three
days a week? What will it be like?
Answer
There are a few questions here. Flexible teaching and
learning is very different from studying by correspondence,
as you will be studying as part of a group, and you
will have ongoing face-to-face contact with your tutors
and/or lecturers. You will also get to know other students
in your subjects and be able to talk to them. This contact
may not be once a week, every week, and it may not always
be in person. In one subject you may have an on-line
class with your lecturer once a fortnight, for example,
and a weekly face-to-face tutorial. In another, you
may have video lectures with a face-to-face seminar
once every fortnight. You will have the benefits of
self-paced progress and access to tutorial help.
