To whom ever it may concern;
I am writing to inform you of a very large concern of mine which isn't directly relevant to the course but does distract me while i'm in college. The point I would like to raise is that there is no safe place for students to park their cars; unless they are hit with a parking charge. I am bringing this up because I get distracted when thinking that my car is in danger being parked on the back roads where there are no security cameras, but if I want security cameras to be on my car I have to pay which I don't think is fair. For the safety of myself and fellow students I feel like not having a student car park and parking on the back roads poses a massive threat especially when I could be leaving college late meaning its dark on roads that aren't well lit in an area that i'm very unfamiliar with. Also when approaching or during final major project I may need to take equipment home and I wouldn't feel safe leaving it in my car because it may be broken into or I may be approach on the unlit roads where i'm alone. I'm not asking for a free car park i'm asking for a car park that is discounted where it may cost £1 for a days parking instead of the cheapest being £3.50 which leisure zone offers. So there are the reason as to why i believe the students of Harlow college deserve a free if not discounted rate as to where they can park their cars safely without the worry.
Thank you for your time,
if you would like to discuss this situation any further then I would greatly appreciate it.
Yours sincerely
Sam Wilkes

I like the how we use padlet and showbie in class as it makes it much easier to upload work for each of our different units. I also like how we are left to complete work without being nagged. When the tutors give very good feedback when you ask for it however I would like it if they came around a bit more often just to make sure we are on track and understand what we are doing

# data[].attributes.body
i like the interaction and the feedback we get with teachers and how we work with different people and take on different roles in projects. I like the freedom we have when using equipment and how we are treated more like adults.

one way the course could improve is if we had a team building day out like paint balling, to get to know everybody else a bit better.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that work is accessible online, although I think tutors need a regular check up of work to reassure we're on the right track.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that we are able to work with different people in our class as this is a great confidence booster for people who are not talkative and they only stick to their friendship group.
I think what needs to be improve is that we need jumpers or badges that say we are from harlow college as when we go off campus to speak to the public they think we are just teenagers trying to talk to them about random stuff but we are actually from the college but we have no evidence about where we are from.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that we have padlet and showbie to easily access and upload work and assignments. I think its good that the tutors are always around to give feedback and help if we need it.
one improvement that could be made is that all the computers could have the same software and the piers lounge could have macs, this would be easier for all the students.

# data[].attributes.body
I like having all the work on showbie and padlet as it makes it easy to access at home and whilst I'm in college and using iPads in the lesson is useful so we don't have to write all the time.

To improve i think there should be macs in the other room so when we are editing things we don't have to try and find a free computer in the open plan.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the fact that padlet is there for just to upload work and access it on both our phones, iPads/tablets and computers and also know that it will be there and that teachers can access it too, this means that we constantly get feedback on our work.

I think that going into the piers lounge isn't helpful due to some softwares that aren't accessible in there and also the fact that the computers are also very slow and screens are dark additionally, i think the room in general is not very motivating due to it being very dull and dark. Also, even though padlet and showbie are good they can get a bit overwhelming and confusing therefore i think that in the future, when it comes to assignment briefs etc, we should get paperwork instead.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how we can access our work from pretty much anywhere due to the fact that it is all online. I also like how we are able to participate in workshops which allows us to get a better knowledge of different softwares we use.

One thing that could be done better is that staff could possibly give us an idea of the grade that we are working at, so that we have a better idea of how we can improve our work. I also feel that a class trip would benefit us so that when the time comes for a group project people are more relaxed

# data[].attributes.body
I like that the teachers are always around to give us feedback and help us if we need it. I also think that its good that we can easily upload our work and get feedback off of the websites that we use such as Padlet and Showbie.

Projects that I enjoy are the ones where we get to do practical work for example when we get to go out and either interview the public or film. I think that the college needs to improve by doing team building exercises because I'm still yet to talk to half of the class (I probably will eventually but I doubt I'll work as well as I could if I was to know them better (if that makes sense))

# data[].attributes.body
i like how relaxed and exciting the lessons are. i enjoy doing practical tasks like the audio or camera work because it is practicing skills we haven't used before. i like using the macs and pcs to do the work because it makes it easier to find and edit later.

The only way that i beleive this course could improve is if we were to go to a team building day out like paintball where we can get to know everybody from outside of the college space.

# data[].attributes.body
i like that all our work is accessable online on pad let  and showbie and that the tutors constantly give us feed back which helps us improve our work.
I think having the iPads are really helpful because then when we are at the sofas we can take notes. thats quite helpful for my learning

One way to improve could be to tell everyone their grades because we were told if we don't hear back then we passed. but it would be nice to track our progress to see if our grades are improving.

I also think updating the computers in the piers lounge. or getting better soft wear on the computers because when we have projects we can't finish them on a wednesday if we are in the perks lounge because our documents don't work too well on the computers

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I feel is done well is the fact that we are made to work with people you wouldn't normally work with preparing people for the real world more than being allowed to work with friends may do. As well as the constant feedback from staff.

Although one thing I feel could be done better is being given some good examples of the work we are trying to complete, paperwork specifically as examples of the practical work is given as getting the higher grades is more difficult when not fully grasping how to get there. my name jeff

I like the relaxed environment we work in and I enjoy the range of subjects we look at during are lessons. I am also happy with the equipment we are provided with when filming but I do have problems with some of the computers.
This course could be improved by ensuring all the computers we use have the required software and work efficiently enough for use to work effectively. I also believe we could benefit from some team building exercises outside of collage to improve are working relationships. we could do anything from paintball to top golf.

# data[].attributes.body
i like the feedback that we get across padlet and showbie.
to improve we could get macs in piers room so that we can use the range softwares and programmes.
i also like the practical lessons as we learning new skills and becoming more confident with all of the different programmes and equipment.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the encouraging feedback we get from tutors, I also think Padlet  is a useful tool in uploading our work onto. I believe it's very helpful that all the work is put onto Showbie so that every student can access it.

To improve I think (this might just be because I like knowing what grades I got) tutors could do like a one to one break down of our grades, I think this would be useful in explain why and how we can improve on our existing work.

# data[].attributes.body
It think that using padlet and Showbie really helps with uploading work and finding power points to help us or the right paperwork we need. It makes everything easier.
To improve I think that all the macs nees to have all the same software.

# data[].attributes.body
I like padlet and the constant tutor feedback
I'm going to be honest the macs aren't great sometimes and they stress me out but to be honest I'm not entirely sure what you can do about that and I can't use the computers in the piers lounge if I do my work on the mac first like photoshop and that's annoying sometimes

# data[].attributes.body
Getting work via Showbie and Padlet is really useful for organising everything.

To improve I think that all the Macs/PCs in the Media area should all the same software/software versions installed so that some programs aren't accessible to people working in certain areas.

# data[].attributes.body
I like getting the regular feedback from teachers and I like using padlet to upload my work.

To improve:
I think media students should get a badge/ tshirt to say we are from media at Harlow College as when going out to the public, sometimes we seem intimidating to some which is then difficult to get results for questionnaires etc
