Students sometimes are not aware of all the activities run by the University. Most of the miss out the most interesting conferences or workshop. To tackle this issue, the university should advertise around the different campuses the list of activities available. In addition, it would be very useful if every month they printed a newspaper with all the activities planned for the month so that students could keep track of them and write them down. Having an online website where those conferences are advertised is not enough. There is the need to make the students more involved in the activities by again printing a list of all the activities arranged for the month.

In addition, booking a room is quite a complex method as well. Therefore so many students end up without having one. It  would be easier if students could book rooms in the library rather than booking online.

When borrowing a book from the library, it would be much easier if we could check the available books in the library rather than just checking online, which most of the time becomes difficult.

How students can work out marks and the importance of getting good marks

How students can work out marks and the importance of getting good marks

# data[].attributes.body
I know it is easy to work out marks for modules but many students still find it hard so maybe have information on how marks can be calculated. Also why it is important to aim for high marks. Moreover, first year students don’t normally know what viva’s are and how they work so maybe a bit of information on that would be good. There are some teachers who during viva’s just test the application and don’t ask for explanation of code but most do, so by knowing they’ll have to explain the code may have them prepared for the viva. It’s not the most ideal thing to add to a mobile app, but every little information helps.

For computer science there are many rooms that have computers in them that are used for specific things i.e. software programming, 3D modelling, security. What could be easy is that if there is a list of categories available which students can click on and see which rooms can be used. For example, one of the categories can be security and forensics - once clicked on, all the rooms which have security and forensics computers are displayed. The reason I’m pointing this out is because certain programming rooms are on different levels. Although rooms that are used for the same purpose are right next to each other, there are rooms on other levels as well which can be used for the same purpose and it really helps to know which rooms they are. I hope that’s not too confusing.

Example of questions sent to Course leaders

# data[].attributes.body
Main questions are about options i.e. what can they take and when does it run – this is really about course structure. Also questions on module content.  Degree classification is another common question.  Other questions relate to module assessment especially qualifying marks i.e. what constitutes a pass.

Any app that replicated the module diet would be useful as would probably save a lot of questions.

When and where can I find staff to discuss course, module or personal issues (if they are my personal tutor)?

# data[].attributes.body
How is my degree classification calculated? Are the exact marks used or the rounded ones?

# data[].attributes.body
Clear information about what modules are available and when they run. It is difficult to choose options from the module fair documents.

Professionals Advice

# data[].attributes.body
I am slightly confused to what this initiative is for...
If all students are lacking information that can’t be easily found on the Student Hub or website, then surely the easiest and most common sense answer is to fix the issue from the base level so that ALL students would benefit from it? I wouldn’t want 5 Apps for University when the simple solution is to integrate things not build separate systems. That’s what Technology is about right? Making people’s lives easier rather than more time consuming.

Also there’s a vast amount of data missing from Blackboard, maybe if this was fixed there would be more information available. I can’t see the use of another app, if the original ones aren’t working properly...

Information on the various Facilities and equipment.

# data[].attributes.body
For a student, having knowledge of the various facilities and equipment (like 3D printing room in Marylebone, XR room in Cavendish, Animation equipment in Harrow) around the University, including where they are and what machinery they contain will help support and ease postgraduates' research and undergraduates' projects.
For this information, there should be a link on the University of Westminster named Research facilities and equipment.

Information such as Police registration, Biometric Residence Permit (BRP), London Transport system and Medical treatment (registering with a doctor, dentist) will help the students adjust to life in UK. Such information should be on the University website, in the International site. They could be presented as a guide, titled 'When you arrive' and/or 'Before you arrive', with all the necessary steps that the students need to undertake to settle and adjust quickly in the new, different lifestyle.

For new students, trying to understand if they have made the right decision in choosing their course is crucial; if the university could arrange 'a day in the field' or invite people from that field to inform the students on how their future career will look like, it will motivate students in perusing their degree or in understanding their interests.

# data[].attributes.body
Especially for first year students, it will be very useful if the university could arrange workshops, send emails and make (compulsory) online courses targeting the various and efficient learning strategies.
