It was a great experience. I studied Legal Executive course and I must tell that the whole set was very well designed, very comprehensively laid out. It was such a joy to study.nMy tutors especially Chris McKinzie who was extremely attentive - answered swiftly, cared about our progress. All I could say is a big thank you to Open Polytechnic.
Maths course was pretty difficult to navigate without any actual real support when I got stuck. I don't think this course is possible through a computer and no face to face tutor to explain the equations or the exact way to condense your work into one word document. Tutor refused to mark my assignment as I was unable to submit it in one singular word document but half the tasks were in excel and the other half were in word. So I guess that's pretty funny to reject someone's work that they spent ages doing and struggling along trying to make sense of the course material. Hmmmm, so now I am not on it and have wasted two months of the year.
I was very disappointed with my experience with polytech. There was a lot of talk of help and support— but little follow through. I would save yourself the time and frustration and enrol elsewhere.nWhen I would finally get the chance to talk to someone, I would be left even more confused and dissatisfied. Talk is so cheap, please don’t waste your time or money with them.
I just wanna say the IT department are 10x more available ,helpful, and supportive than any in person tertiary study ive ever done. Problems solved over the phone, promptly and just genuinely nice bloody people. Top notch
Pretty dissatisfied with this place. ‘Studied’ 5 papers in total, study is basically a list of YouTube videos and a poorly constructed hand out. Overall the support is non-existent, the content is hard to follow and doesn’t get updated regularly if at all.nnMy 5th paper was computer aided design, unfortunately my computer had a catastrophic failure and I was unable to complete the paper. When I reached out for assistance or to resit the paper during the next semester I was told the only way to do so was by filling out a complex form with evidence etc and that my reason computer problems wasn’t one of the ‘exceptional circumstances’ that would allow a transfer. Basically I would have had to make something up to conform to their minimal list of reasons. Being an extra-mural provider that provides study of a computer based program, technological problems should 100% be a reason for transfer, but good luck finding a person that cares.nnIn the end, I just withdrew from the paper as there wasn’t a staff member in the place that actually cared. They kept the money which is all they care about and I will be ceasing my study.nnI would advise against studying here as most of my study time was spent trying to work out what I needed to study.
