What Others Say

The course offered a unique opportunity to learn about a country most U3A Online members are unlikely to have studied or visited. It was fascinating and well-written.

As the course coincided with a traumatic house move I was unable to do any of the assignments but these have been saved for a future date. Course material excellent and made good reading, a stimulant for a future time. The course administration has also been very good.

Very interesting - overview of subject - able to go further into topics of personal interest - course content excellent - personal comments by tutor added positive flavour to content.

I found this course to be one of the most interesting U3A courses I have undertaken. I have taken so much away from this course and am very glad to have undertaken it from beginning to completion. A truly wonderful course and one I would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about China.

I learned a lot, there are plenty of graphs, photos and videos. I still have a lot to learn about technology, but Ian always helps. I would recommend the course to anyone with an interest in geography.

I enrolled in this course as sidetrack mentioned in the History of Science course Unit 6. I strongly advise anyone doing this course to move on to the material offered in Continents on the Move. I was constantly amazed at the extension material available through web links offered. It is intriguing to see lava flowing over your desk and volcanoes erupting before your very eyes? Thank you Ian for this most interesting course.

This was a really fascinating course. The Sidetrack websites and videos made for great interest. Activities helped consolidate the wealth of material provided.

It introduced me to things I had wondered about for a long time and provided a fascinating insight to our world. The course was enjoyable and filled in many otherwise lonely hours.

Studying online is a revelation. You have given me the confidence to try something totally new and I intend to search online uni and TAFE and courses to see if I can further my interest in geology and history.

Ian Wilson has done a superb job in presenting the complexity of Continents on the Move in an understandable and enjoyable way. Graphics and photographs clarified many aspects and the links are great resources for future reference. It was good to be able to access the course units at times suitable for me. All involved with the production of the course are to be congratulated, especially the tutor, who has helped me make sense of a very shaky world and helped me to be much more sensitive to its needs.

Somehow you will have to convince those who missed the course, that they let slip a great opportunity.

I enjoyed being able to study the course at my own pace, and at the time I could make available for study. The course was informative and set out in an interesting format. I am not isolated, but find courses at the local U3A are not always available at the time I require them.

I would like to thank everyone that is involved with U3A Online for putting the courses on. As someone forced into early retirement and who lives a fairly isolated life being able to access these courses online has been fantastic. I enrolled in 3 courses and made the decision to do one at a time. This first course has been such a wonderful thing to do while transitioning to my new lifestyle. It has challenged me on many levels and pushed me to take risks to attempt following some of my dreams.

I felt that the course was set outside my level of knowledge / lifeskills and creative experience (62 years young). I struggled to come to terms with it and even went back over it to grasp something from it. I was put off by the need to sign up everywhere on the net wasteful.
