Results for People and Place, my third course at Level 1 at OCA, were somewhat less than my previous two courses. I was expecting this, so nor major disappointment, though I am surprised that my concerns were so easily dismissed, this time by an assessor, who claims – despite the lack of evidence in the course materials – that conceptual approaches are a core element of Level 1 courses. I have written to OCA to seek clarification on this matter, but will have no satisfaction. I can file a complaint, but marks cannot be changed. How’s that for fairness?
