| Oct 26, 2017 at 10:18 | comment | added | user24098 | @JessicaB as I understand it, the OP feels the course is of poor quality due to the nature of the material. Even if the course contents technically meet the institution's requirements and technically don't disagree with what was advertised, a complaint about quality may still be justified. | |

| Oct 26, 2017 at 8:15 | comment | added | user24098 | This doesn't seem quite right to me. Instructors usually have extremely wide latitude in how a course is constructed and how they deliver it. This seems to be a dispute about quality rather than whether the material technically fulfills the requirements of a course (it almost certainly does). Also, surely students have some recourse if course quality is bad enough. | |

| Oct 24, 2017 at 21:12 | comment | added | anon | Yep, I get your point. Unfortunately, it seems the university doesn't have anything written regarding what is expected of online lecture materials, so I guess that defaults to "It's the instructor's choice." What a shame :/ | |
