Did the platform facilitate meaningful collaboration and/or discussion? 

Yes, clear and well laid out.

Online.

Clear and well laid out.

Yes

Yes, and exceeded them. The preparation work was interesting and well judged in terms of required time commitment. The course itself was a good balance of lecturer input, slides and class discussion.

Very. I thoroughly enjoyed each learning material interaction.

Navigating to the course assessment results and results/comments was a little counter-intuitive. It took me a little while to find my coursework grade, find a corresponding table to explain the alphanumeric code and find the lecturer's commentary and overall review.

No barriers for me.

Unfortunately not, there seemed to be little appetite amongst my fellow students from online discussion. This may have been impacted by the subject itself (which definitely beneefits from the additional nuance of in person discussion) but may also have been linked to the excellent quality of the led discussions during tutorial time.

No, but I made no effort to identify where I might find such support. I like problem solving and I was able to resolve my minor issues without recourse to external support.

The 'Introduction to Western Philosophy', 'Practical Ethics' and the 'Introduction to Psychology' and been fascinating and energising. I am very much looking forward to continuing to advance my understanding of those subjects over the forthcoming terms and, if my interest continues to be captured so effectively, plan to engage in a related Undergraduate or Masters of one or more. I'm also hoping to expand the number of courses that I take, including topics such as Economics, Politics and Eastern Philosophy.

It was also useful to have a voluntary essay piece of coursework. It's been many years since I've written anything academic so it was very useful to see how much my knowledge/skills have changed as well as having a formal avenue to gauge how much the course had impacted my understanding of, and ability to structure, arguments / discussions.
