OLCI Assignment marking confusion?

[ourkid]

Just got my first 4 assignments returned in the post.Although i passed all 4, a few of the questions marked "incorrect", just didn't seem right to me.Checking through the course binder it seems that in a few areas i've been given duff information!, anyone else experienced this?

what are the questions and related answers?

Thanks Alana,

I've just had chance to go through and cross reference the info in the course binder and compare with my Steve Muscroft plumbing book (seems like a large portion of the text is taken directly from this book?)

There are a few mistakes (including methods for calculating gain whilst bending copper tubing which the manual states to base on nominal bore not O.D?),also Amps = Volts/Watts then later on, Watts/Volts? and the table on page 77, joining plastic pipe....Polythene should be fusion welded?

I've e-mailed OLCI this morning,although the binder is generally very good,i'll also use Steve's book for revision.

The way the course is run worked for me, i could do the written stuff at home and then got to the centre for the practical side of things.
