The saga continues.
It would appear that my tutor believes that the Course notes that he had for the previous version of Digital Photography Level 1 are relevant to Digital Photographic Practice hence the difference between the assignment that appears in my Course material and the Tutor's version. We have referred the matter to the OCA to seek clarification. The answer should be interesting. Either way, as things stand at the moment, it does not do a lot to bolster one's confidence in the OCA. I am only glad that this was not my first Course else I might have felt like throwing in the towel. You can cope with the odd typo or missing reference to earlier material because of the prompt help you can get from the staff at the OCA but there is a basic need for all parties involved to be 'singing from the same hymn sheet'.

Sorry to hear about this Cedric. Very frustrating for you. My understanding (based on comments made by OCA staff on the forums) is that the previous version of this course was felt to be too similar to TAOP (e.g. some assignments such as 'Contrasts' being almost duplicated) and that the new course is deliberately designed to be cover quite different ground. So course notes wouldn't be interchangeable. OCA will no doubt clarify one way or another as soon as they start back. I hope that all is resolved soon.
