Foreign Perspectives

During the couple of weeks prior to the cut-off date for the first assignment for the psychology course the course forum was understandably very busy with all those last minute questions as to how to interpret the question, whether to include this reference or that, and so on.

We’re now in the week just after that date and there’s not been a single message on the forum in that week. Granted, there wouldn’t be the volume of posts after an assignment, but none at all seems a little odd as there’s always at trickle of questions or comments.

Whether that’s an indication that the first assignment was viewed as being quite difficult and therefore there’s been a higher than normal drop-out rate, we’ll have to wait a week or two to find out.
