On Reddit: "We were literally told to use AI to give us practice questions. I’ve had to use AI to explain why I got answers to questions wrong bc there is minimal resources given to us, and the teaching staff especially at practicals are terrible at teaching."
On Reddit: "More so the lack of additional assistance/resources for the subject. It’s all been “do similar questions to the practice exam and the extend content”"
