Deakin’s online program course Cloud…



Deakin online program Cloud Campus is falsely advertised as flexible and supportive but in reality it is confusing unsupported and feels like gambling with your future

Throughout the trimester DeakinSync shows your assignment and quiz marks as good or excellent and you think you are on track

Final results are released and suddenly you fail

Feedback from the unit chair arrives only after results are out so you cannot improve or fix anything in time

There is no real guidance during the semester and you study completely alone guessing what lecturers actually want

The portal DeakinSync CloudDeakin is extremely complicated and needs its own training course to understand

I sent many emails when I started asking for portal help and they replied after days with general answers and I feel I pay less fees online and this is the fact then I requested to withdraw my course early but it was complicated and no one cared

You waste months of full time effort thousands of dollars and your mental health only to be shocked at the very end because in gambling you lose money but with Deakin Online you lose money time effort and your sanity

I strongly do not recommend Deakin online study to mature age students who need real support

Save yourself the trauma
