I have, and Oxford is by no means the worst, and better than most. I would suggest that Bristol is probably the best at the moment.
Like you, I get annoyed when really simple grammar errors are made. It is more annoying when one thinks that many of them could easily be solved with a press of the 'spell/grammar check' button.
They are notes, not a text book, and as such can be a little ‘terse’ in their delivery. They must give you all of the information required by the JAA Learning Objectives but some of it is little more than a simple statement of fact without explanation. All notes have been approved by the CAA as suitable for the course. (Or so I have been told
)
A pedagogical element is provided by the instructor in the classroom; for the DL student the provider should be offering this alongside the notes. I judge the quality of a DL provider by how they lead students through the material, not just on the material itself.
Starways, good luck with your studies. I have enjoyed DL and I am sure you will.
