. The online delivery (and resultant reduction of course fees) was certainly a good idea, along with the trimester structure.
Contrast this with my partner who is doing online delivery through RMIT; they've given up on supporting her to the extent that last semester they started putting up week 1 lectures in week 8 and this semester they haven't even made provision for the lectures to be recorded. If it were all reading and exams it would be OK, but it's being marked on work done in tutorials (there hasn't been a provision for her to participate in tutorials at all during the course, and she's third year) and assignments discussed in tutorials. Added to that there is no reduction in course fees. It's been a total sham and has done nothing to dissuade me of the opinion that it's a sham institution (and my old man used to be on one of the boards).
