East Asian Studies and History, BA Hons FullTime

Only a handful of the modules were accessible. One had contradictory guidelines for an assignment and when asked for guidance the lecturer couldn’t be bothered to reply then left feedback scolding me for not asking if I was unsure. Half of them don’t put the slides up afterwards to allow for more in depth note taking and there was really only two modules in which I felt the course was good quality and that I felt supported in my studies. read more
