Online Information Sessions 

Very relevant to the area I am working in It is giving me a very good view of the top and bottom of the subject matter.

The lectures give a lot of their time even when not in lectures. Respond very well to emails questions etc.

Data and information is presented at the right level, good mix of theory & practice. I like the discussion parts as well, you learn a lot from the other students.

I like the continuous or weekly assessments as it keeps you engaged and not trying to do one big assignment at the end. Especially for a part time evening course where work is busy, you may not be able to complete a big assignment but continuous assignments are manageable and it is easy to identify what you are expected to learn each week and then you are tested on that knowledge. 

The course materials are very good and both OT networks and protocols and cybersecurity laws and regulations are well laid out as far as building up to learning outcomes.
