    Course close and next steps

    Great idea Katy! As Jon said we're working on an eBook at the moment and would like to include a bibliography of sources from the course.

    Reflect and discuss

    Hi Katherine and Linda,

    Thanks for your comments and participation. If you managed to review just one piece of work that's great! In theory you can review more but we completely understand it's quite time consuming and any participation is appreciated.

    Hope you're enjoying the course.

    Hi Ekaterina,

    Thanks for this, you are correct, there was a glitch with a setting on this question. To make it fair to all learners we are going to void this question, all scores for this test will now only reflect four questions so you will not be penalised in any way.
