Hello,
I am a 4th-year BSc Criminal Psychology student at the University of Essex Online, and I personally recommend studying through the university. It has a very supportive and attentive environment. There are Q&A sessions every 2 weeks, I think. You can also email the tutor of the module your questions and they usually respond promptly (weekdays, sometimes weekends). If you still have further questions or do not understand a topic, you can always ask for a Zoom meeting with the tutor. As for the disability support team, they are incredible. They provide a week extension if you qualify for disability (including mental illnesses or ADHD). There are also resources available on the platform, like a study hub and there are other opportunities to learn such as through lectures or the monthly journal club.
Regarding assignments, some of the psychology modules have collaborative learning questions (where you must write peer responses and such).
Let me know if you have any other inquiries about the university or my experience!
All the best,
Dana Kafoud
