The tutor's response to these results is as follows:

"May I start by thanking you for your responses and comments relating to this module. We have read with interest your remarks and would like to address some of the main themes highlighted. It is encouraging that overwhelmingly you were pleased with the quality of the teaching methods and style of teaching on this module. In addition you have highlighted that you would recommend this module to other students. It has been noted that some of you find the start time too early but due to the inflexibility of the estate and the timetable / demands for rooms, the start time is not within the School's control. It is encouraging to learn that you felt that the module was relevant to your course in providing basic academic skills such as Harvard Referencing, plagiarism and academic writing.

Your comments relating to the types of assessments have given us some important themes to consider. For instance we have appreciated some concerns about having to fill in your PDP weekly, however the aim of this was to get you into a pattern of working and to capture your personal developments as they are occurring through workshop support . When we asked you how often you made use of the various one line resources we were pleased to learn that the vast majority of you made very frequent use of Moodle. One area for concern was your physical use of the library resources with almost 40% saying you infrequently visit the library. We would like to highlight that there are many valuable resources in the library that are not on line along with a team of dedicated staff to help and support you in your studies.

We would just like to say thank you once again for taking the time to complete the evaluation and also for making the Skills for the Professional Module a pleasure to deliver.

Best wishes

Andy Thomas and Paul Andrews"

We asked you how the first three weeks of this academic year had been for you, and about 300 people responded. With this posting you'll find a summary of what you said along with our response. This is always quite a general evaluation because it goes out to everybody - when it comes to the individual module evaluations we'll be able to be more detailed in our responses.

...here's the exam timetable for May.  If there is anything you are unsure of, please contact your tutor.

All the Best, Angela
