No. While you can choose to write your assignments by hand, the majority of students type up their work in a word processor and then submit it via email to their tutors. A typed essay is much easier to save and edit and makes it easier for tutors to read.
Challenging course but have to say one of the best things I have done
This course was everything I needed it to be.
My assignments were marked quickly and the feedback was very encouraging.
I work in a care home and see people at their end of life often. I won some Oxbridge vouchers at work based on personal achievement. I decided to select this course as end of life care is the part of my job I struggle most with. Hopefully with this qualification I will be able to understand more and be able to deal with the after part better. I wasn’t a good student in school but I am glad that I am working in a job I love and that I am getting the chance to add to my skills.
