Very theoretical, and not so practical. I don't have a personal tutor so could only rate 1*. It's based mostly on essays, and each week the topic is different, but the essay is on one of the topics, so hypothetically you could go only to one week and still get a first. As it's very theoretical, the marking is very harsh
