Professional Development (PD) courses
Personal development (or PD) courses are courses designed to help students develop core career skills, and succeed in the workplace. PD1 and PD12 are both required compulsory courses.

PD1 Opinion
At best, the PD1 course is a highly misguided waste of time - busywork that actively gets in the way of doing meaningful work. Without this charitable interpretation, it feels as though the course was invented purely to slow students down and reduce the time available for actual schoolwork or job applications. The assignments are tedious, disorganized, and unclear, requiring students to wade through verbose instructions and constantly jump between LEARN pages, previous assignments, and countless other tabs.
