With the forensics, I always think it's great to learn more and beef up the accuracy of our writing, so experts don't roll their eyes when they read. (which I'm sure they don't do when they read your books).<br /><br />I tend to think the 'points' awarded for the more formal university courses are only useful if you want it to contribute to a qualification, or as you say, to CPD. I always love to continue learning, so I'm not worried about the points.Tony Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798586432645889182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4118962730015351652.post-59374832584434808402014-03-24T12:03:40.284-07:002014-03-24T12:03:40.284-07:00Looking forward to starting the next one on 31st M...Looking forward to starting the next one on 31st March.

As an espionage writer, it was relevant and gave me great insights into the liberties taken by the likes of CSI. I researched the topics of most interest beyond the course boundaries and that will feed into my writing.<br /><br />MOOCs do not carry points like university modules and some other CPD courses, but that doesn’t bother me.<br /><br />I’m now studying one on Theory of Mind and cognitive poetics – excellent so far. <br /><br />Jeff CookJeff Cookhttp://www.jeffcook.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
