Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars
Lectures and some tutorials are recorded but have exceedingly limited support. The focus is not on encouraging people to learn and have a passion for the subjects. You are frequently required to pay unexpected fees. Some subjects you literally only need the textbook, others the textbook/s are pretty much useless. Would not recommend to anyone.
