Feedback from Have your say survey

The lecturer opened the weekly online lecture with a check-in around the room, asking how everyone's week was. The topic could have been work or home. He also asked further questions on people's responses, showing true interest and compassion at times. I respected the trust and honesty in the group that he created, as did everyone else on the call.

Students valued the warm, welcoming vibe of the weekly sessions, where the lecturer kicked things off with a quick check-in, giving everyone a chance to share something personal or work-related. This slight touch went a long way in building trust and connection in our fully online group. The teaching team plans to keep this up in future terms, as it creates a supportive space for learning.

Feedback from Have your say survey

Getting guest speakers was a great resource however it felt like it impacted the teaching aspect as there would be a rush to get through the weekly material.

Students liked the guest speakers but mentioned that their sessions sometimes cut into the time needed to dive into the weekly lecture material. We’re glad the industry input was a hit, but we see the need to balance the schedule better. Moving forward, we’ll plan guest speakers more carefully (slotting them into weeks with lighter content or offering their talks as separate recorded sessions) to keep the lectures in-depth and well-paced.
