I decided to do the course self-paced because we went away, and the course-led timing did not suit me. I am very impressed with the quality of the course materials -- how lucky I am to be able to learn this material for no cost!!

The course leader was a professional botanist and academic who provided stimulating course material and wonderful support while maintaining an easy-going and encouraging way of communicating . To cover so much ground in eight weeks was a bit much for me but I felt privileged to have been under the tutelage of Betsy Jackes. Long may she continue to change the way we look at Australian plant life.

I just wanted to let you know that even though I don\\'t appear to have participated very well in the above course I have enjoyed what I have been able to do immensely. My husband passed away on 25th March after a long illness so that may explain my lack of input. Most weeks it was all I could do just to read your notes and I found your suggestion of reading them more than once most helpful. I am hoping to do the Botany course later in the year. So thank you very much for the course.

This course was extremely well put together in wording, photos and diagrams and helped me to understand the makeup and grouping of plants as I have had a lifetime interest in gardening as a hobby.

I have an involvement as a volunteer in guiding visitors through the Australian Botanic Gardens; this course gave me enormous background information (not to impart to visitors but to give me understanding to back my interest).

It took me to a new level of awareness and understanding - achieving the objectives of U3A to educate older persons. It was challenging and demanding - which was appropriate.

The course content was excellent for a history "beginner". If this isn’t taught as a compulsory school subject it should be! As I undertook this course unsupervised, it enabled me to do each topic when time permitted - a bit plus. Am looking forward to "Australian History: post Federation" when it becomes available.

Like some other members of this course I had some health issues during the course and wasn\\'t always able to participate as I would have liked but I enjoyed what I did and it was great to have something else to concentrate on when I needed distraction from my health.

The course got me writing, provided me with an audience for my writing, gave me the opportunity to see other people\\'s work and gave me plenty of ideas for future writing. It was unfortunate that participation was down but this appeared to be as a result of outside influences.

Astronomy was way above my head. However, this did not stop me from enjoying it.
