Course Readiness Reference
Programs & Courses gives you learning outcomes, assessment weights, and one blunt total workload figure. It doesn't tell you how hard a course actually feels, or how many hours a week it takes in practice. This page adds that: real feedback from students who've taken these courses, sitting next to the official numbers.
This site is public and collects nicknames only — no names, student IDs, or emails. Please don't name or identify individual staff in your feedback.
