Will it be more hard work?
Time management is important.

Does this reflect the needs of students with children and  in work?

# data[].attributes.body
Doing smaller essays helps to manage workload throughout the year.
example = did  assessment in long & thin module. Did assessmen tin two steps, then gives heads up on how to proceed with rest of essay.

# data[].attributes.body
Does this change take into account different learning styles and speeds?

# data[].attributes.body
If student is nto awar of the subject they might not be able to keep up.

Students ar ealready used to this structure.

# data[].attributes.body
plus = meeting new people
minus = used to own group
merging classes [means the student] will have to apply it to their own area outside of class

# data[].attributes.body
Modules such as employability are applicable outside college

"When doing my degree I want a wider subject specific knowledge of my subject

# data[].attributes.body
Working load and assessment methods that I currently undertake are both large and
varied. would be concerned that this increase would give less time to complete assignments and perhaps give a narrower knolwedge of the subject as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
Could foresee having larger essays as a possibility. I would preferr larger ones.

# data[].attributes.body
concerned re cost: "Course must relfect the price and show quality and value for money"

# data[].attributes.body
On employer attitude towards Foundation Degree: College would need to to demonstrate why change is suitable.

# data[].attributes.body
"the bigger they are, the more [homework] is required"

# data[].attributes.body
Part time students have childcare/work commitments - concerned about larger assessments or potentially more [variety]

# data[].attributes.body
"Prefer smaller essays to get head around subject"

# data[].attributes.body
Would be concerned about [content] getting watered down versions of some modules as they become merged. Having diluted areas of study could mean missing out on some detail and gaining wider knowledge of these areas"

# data[].attributes.body
As long as everything that has been included, is continued, then that would be suitable

# data[].attributes.body
Queried whether this approach would be suitable as students work at different levels of ability. Will everyone be on the same page?

# data[].attributes.body
" I like the way it is run at the moment"
"it is up to college to ensure that all required content is covered"

# data[].attributes.body
Would this mean I do not get a wider spread in terms of modules and options. This could mean missing out on a dropped module that I could really value or need.

# data[].attributes.body
could be possible to merge content

# data[].attributes.body
larger modules may not reflect course specific content

# data[].attributes.body
Concern regaring assessment; will there be less?

each module is important an links into the following module/level

smaller modules will mean more regular assessments, which is better

# data[].attributes.body
"could the modules not just be more course specific and not merged? then lesson input could be delivered to the specific course and outcomes and not be generic. Working with new people is always a good learning experience although the 'generic' word is a concern"

# data[].attributes.body
as long as gaurentee subject specialism is covered, then okay.

"having 'bare bones' would mean student has to seek out information more specific to subject"

# data[].attributes.body
"Could see it working"
"Level 5 research methods set up knowledge for level 6"

# data[].attributes.body
"think new approach could work fine"

"Modules are vital and the input is important- must be sure everything is covered appropriately"

# data[].attributes.body
"Would be some concern over modules and the links to specialism"
"Do not like 'generic' as HE courses are specialist"

# data[].attributes.body
An increase in credit size may mean alternative assessment methods are used OR a larger volume of assessments - for example increasing essay length or presentation/blog depth. what are your thougths on this?

# data[].attributes.body
By merging modules there is a opportunity to assimilate content across the subject area, but not at the detriment of the subject itself (ie it will be grouped into other modules  but the content will not be neglected). What are your thoughts on this?

# data[].attributes.body
On the left hand side you will see the number of modules has decreased (four to three) but the weighting has increased (20 credits to 30 credits adn so on). what are your thoughts on this change?

# data[].attributes.body
It may be necessary to merge different subjects within these generic modules, and to then differentiate the learning outcomes to be more suitably applied to your chosen subject area. What are your thoughts on this?

# data[].attributes.body
Please have a look at the new suggested structure for foundation degrees. the right hand side illustrates generic modules which will run throughout each course, on each level. What are your thoughts on these generic modules?
