A person of uncertain age who has lived in Melbourne, Australia for 50 years or so after a little intercontinental wandering, and while collecting the usual life baggage, has NOT been a barrista, desert explorer or bus driver, but HAS been a proofreader-editor, computer programmer and psychiatric social worker, has outlived several cats and accumulated daughters, great-nephews, a soulmate and piles of books, many unread, and now listens to classical, jazz and folk, potters around on looms and cameras, sketches and doodles, occasionally writes words with a pen (or keyboard), and records some of the various results here (pause for breath).
One of the required modules of the course is on ‘Advanced drawing techniques’ which includes segments on markmaking and drawing & painting a number of subjects.

Is this part of your course too? How do you get to do drawing classes by post? Or do you do extra classes for yourself – and is it acknowledged in the course? Or is it just for your own enjoyment?
And well done too. I find life drawing a bit like your title – sometimes it works and many times it doesn’t.
