practice papers so that you are more than prepared for your assessments.
In addition, there will be a number of tutor marked assessments (TMAs) to
ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the course materials,
with the tutor sending comments to guide you through any areas of
potential difficulty, as well as a range of self-assessments that are
indicators that you understand the materials as you work through them.
These are for your own information, and do not need to be shown to your
course tutor.

(LMS).
The online course has many features that cannot be printed such as embedded videos, forums and interactive tests.
The course includes Tutor Marked Assessments which you access and submit through the online system.
