Mariners Learning System

The course is very comprehensive. The format takes a little time to figure out.

I'm almost through the OUPV-Six pack before moving on to the Masters Upgrade. Overall, it's done the job. I especially appreciate being able to listen and/or watch a video for each webpage of the course. I have been frustrated sometiems with a feeling that the course creators assumed I had more prior experience with boats, the ocean, etc. than I actually have. Part of this feels like the product of the tradition of seamanship, which at times feels like 'the old guys club' or, alternately, a prestigious tradition I'm excited to be a part of and am literally being given access to but. . . maybe the only way to put it is sometimes is that the content needs to be dumbed down a bit more. I appreciate that's difficult because the curriculum and expectations of the Coast Guard itself may be a little outdated. Like I said, overall, it's getting the job done. If I can comprehend how to do chart-plotting without a live human explaining it, you've clearly done something right. Thank you.

Topics are well written and study guides are helpful. The videos will not play on my iMac, but I was able to play them on Mac Book Pro. However, I had higher expectations for the videos. The quizzes at the end of each section contain questions not covered in the lesson. Not a big deal because you can take the quizzes as many times as you want to get a passing score. I am not far along in the course but they sent me a review request, so this is it so far

Only flaw I have for this program is trying to do lessons via the website, due to it logging me out constantly and not allowing me to access my course, therefore I switched to the app and it’s amazing

Flashcards would be very helpful in this section.
