At first seemed like I was getting good support. However I told them from day one I was looking to earn a merit or distinction. Despite this my portfolio was misssing an aspect that prevented my getting any more than a pass. This should've been pointed out to me and is disappointing they didn't have the knowledge to correctly guide me towards my goal
