Concerns About Learning and Platform Usability

The main issue with this institution isn't necessarily the quality of learning (although the language requirements are disappointingly low and should ideally be set at C1/C2), but rather the exhausting process involved. I've never encountered such outdated practices as those used here. They insist on using Word for LaTeX instead of more modern options like Compositor or Corca. The platform's accessibility is quite poor: resizing text boxes is impossible, formatting errors occur when copying and pasting (the RTF support is very limited, and upload options are absent), and even Moodle's accessibility features are missing. I suspect the institution hasn't implemented automatic URL checks, as I once had to create data myself when the provided URL for a simulation was no longer functional (it appeared to be taken down). While the university aspect is commendable, the overall experience feels like something an amateur would throw together. If you believe these platforms justify the hefty assessment fees of $400 for any graduate course, that’s certainly not the case. I would gladly give five stars if the outdated practices were updated.
