The assessors are other students on the course. The course material is okay but its value is diminished by this reviewing process. Some students actually offer to swap 100% scores on the forums.

Poorly structured, incredibly boring (not because of the material, but because of the presentation), hard to follow and stay engaged with the content. Course instructors need to work on engagement and the presentation of the material as it is not very clearly laid out. The PowerPoint type animations used to present the info seems very outdated and there is too much going on with each "slide."
