I feel that the time we are given to complete the assignments (mainly for the biological and cognitive module) can be too short at times. By the time we have completed the formative tasks and collected the data and run the analysis, we have a very short time to complete the assignments to the best of our ability.
However I do feel that the social and developmental module have scheduled the assignment perfectly, giving plenty of time for it to be completed to a high standard.

# data[].attributes.body
The deadline for bio and cog is too early, the time set aside to collect data is 2 weeks before the deadline and trying to get people to take part before then is going to be really hard. It would be great if the deadline was after Christmas so we have longer to complete it, either that or allocate time more than 2 weeks before the deadline to collect the data

# data[].attributes.body
Some lectures seem irrelevant, especially when they seem to have nothing to do with the assignment and no exam.

# data[].attributes.body
Daniels seminars for evolution are really helpful but getting the essay question slightly earlier might be useful so we can think about how we would apply what we've learnt in the lectures to the essay at an earlier stage as I feel like I'm gunna be given the essay question over Christmas and have no contact time with lecturers for help

# data[].attributes.body
The support for evolution is great, however I don't feel like I'm getting the same level of support from the other modules. More help on essay writing and report writing would be great as I feel like we're expected to know how to do it even though we only did it once last year. The grading grids are helpful but I think more help is needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Some lecturers read off the PowerPoint which isn’t helpful, it would be more beneficial if lecturers could expand on what is on the slides such as in the Evolution and Social lectures

# data[].attributes.body
The lectures do not relate to the assignment at all. The assignment has to be on memory , maybe could be some choice around this? Bio and cognitive lectures have all been quite boring (just reading the slides). The timeframe for the assignment is very small compared to other modules and the support and clarity has been lacking. Really not enjoying this module, in comparison to the other modules it doesn't even come close.

# data[].attributes.body
Mostly the assignment deadlines and resources have been great. However, for the bio and cognitive module I do believe the deadline doesn’t allow us to get the assignment done to a high standard as it doesn’t leave us a lot of time to write up everything once we have gathered our data and ran the appropriate tests. It would have been more appropriate to set the deadline after Christmas.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of the lectures have been useful and relevant however it does feel like some don’t relate to our assignments at all such as in bio and cog and research methods. Mostly the lecturers are great, happy to help and enthusiastic, especially Dean and Laura In the social module! However I do find Di to be intimidating and very much dislike her teaching approach of picking on people, makes me feel like I’m back at school. I’m paying to be at my lectures to take notes and get what I can from the experience, not to be made anxious and uncomfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
Really enjoying this module. Very helpful links to the assignment, support is obvious and always helpful. Lectures are interesting and engaging. Bere and Laura's teaching style is fun and engaging.

# data[].attributes.body
Have struggled with research methods throughout but am really feeling as if I understand things in lectures. Much better teaching of research methods this year. Seminar walkthroughs are helpful and in a better format. However the seminars do tend to be very samey and repetitive and quite boring some days. Lectures lately by Di have been informative but engaging where as seminars lack this. The assignment was useful but lacking guidance and mixed messages were received from different members of the department. (One individual said we should use subscales and another said we shouldn't ) Also allocation of groups was poor for some groups it was far too late and for others people were added in without us even knowing. As a result these individuals failed to contribute.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like something needs to be done regarding group work as members of groups know they can contribute nothing and get the same grade. I feel like we should have to grade group members like in developmental last year so on a scale of 1-10 and if several group members grade one member a very low score, this member should be questioned on why and not receive the same grade as the others who have actually spent time doing the work.

# data[].attributes.body
Farrrrr too late lecture ! It would be ok if research wasn't first thing . However as I am commuting in every day I have to wait around all day or do work in frees and end up being absolutely fed up and exhausted by when evolution comes around . It's such a shame because the module is one of the best ! Engaging, fun lectures. Covers everything fast and covers a lot in the 2 hours.

# data[].attributes.body
Something has to be done about those who get allocated to a group and know they can simply sit back and get the same grade as everyone else whilst doing no work. (Developmental last year had a good approaching Of a grading system, this needs to be taken seriously)

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way the ethics forms are given back is unfair. Some groups are receiving their ethics form 1-2 weeks before other groups which gives them a lot longer to complete the assignment. I get there’s a few different markers but if all ethics forms could be released on the same day, at least it would be fair.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't feel that the biological and cognitive deadlines are spread apart. Also some of the groups have received their ethical approval but many haven't and it isn't fair as some has more of an advantage over others. Also there isn't enough help with how to work openseasme + the tutorials online aren't useful. It would be fair if the ethics forms are all released on one day so its fair.
The research lectures this year are a little helpful and understanding this year.

# data[].attributes.headline
Biological and Cognitive, Research Report.

# data[].attributes.subject
Biological and Cognitive, Research Report.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that the organisation regarding our ethical approval is challenging, some groups relieved ethical approval very early on leaving other groups behind when writing up the final report and writing the final report. We have attempted to write up as much of the report as possible however, it is extremely difficult to have a direction when we do not have the results. 2 weeks to collect and analyse data and write up the report is not long enough.

# data[].attributes.body
There isn't enough time to complete the research report to a good enough standard in my opinion and have enough time to be comfortable doing it, for me it feels like I'll be doing it in a rush as we have around 2 weeks to write it after getting ethical approval and finding time for carrying out he experiment etc, as well as some of us having jobs and other big assignments too.

I feel research methods is the best supported module and I have felt that all of the lectures dedicated to focusing on stuff for our assignment, as well as the seminars and walkthroughs and support provided personally by the lectures is great - I feel that Helen and Laura in particular giving us lots of support and it's nice that we're congratulated for good work and overall lecturers for this module tell us useful points that can be used in our assignments

# data[].attributes.body
The lectures are detailed and Bere's last two lectures in particular ave been really useful for the assignment and giving us good ideas on the way to go about writing the essay etc

# data[].attributes.body
All of the lecturers are helpful and informative and I worry quite a lot so I have emailed a few of them personally to clear up some issues/worries and I've never been displeased. Always been given the answers I needed and felt very supported and welcome to ask things which is good as I am no longer scared to ask if I am stuck and it has overall helped me improve and do better with assignments and look in the right direction if I am stuck on something

# data[].attributes.body
The deadline for Bio and Cog is too close. Hardly anyone has their ethics form back and we then have two weeks to collect data and write everything up. There is just not enough time.

# data[].attributes.body
The deadline for bio and cog is really close and we haven't received approval yet. Ive worked out that we have a week to collect, a week to analyse the data and a week to write up a 2500 word report and I fear that I will not meet this deadline...

# data[].attributes.body
Im finding that feedback is often vague and not really giving me much to go on in terms of improving my work...

# data[].attributes.body
This is the module I feel the most supported in.

# data[].attributes.body
I have yet to be able to attend a lecture for evolution, I live an hour and a half away and have a huge break in between my morning lectures and seminars and my evolution lecture.. I have to leave before this lecture, as I will be stranded otherwise. I also worry about this for second semester as one of our days doesn't start until 2 pm...

# data[].attributes.body
Im finding this the most challenging this, I am essentially doing the majority of work myself, its very difficult to be doing work for a group of 5-6 people by myself..

# data[].attributes.body
I am finding it incredibly hard to find participants, I don't even know where to begin...

# data[].attributes.body
Some tutors only have a 1 hour slot on a Thursday... so 4x 15 minutes slots a week. I know that tutors have a lot to do, but theres 100+ people on the course, I have had a three week wait for my tutorial and its the day before one of the assessments is due..

# data[].attributes.body
we started this module at the start of the academic year, and yet our assignment gives us a month to hand in ethics forms, get them back, collect data, interpret the data and write up a report it just is not enough time!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the lecture is too long and should be an hour and a half, the lecture never feels rushed and yet the seminar when we are putting into practice what we learn it always feels rushed and we don't get enough time

# data[].attributes.body
It would be really helpful to see the exam question so we can start planning ASAP.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand we cant be spoofed the assignment and we have to do it ourselves but there is so many lectures where we cover stuff that is nothing to do with the assignment it is unreal, for example research methods last week 13/11 the lecturer said I do not expect you to use this as an undergraduate, why are we doing it then? It was a waste of time that I could have spent doing assignments

# data[].attributes.body
Id like to be given more info on what I can do with my degree.. I know there is an event tomorrow and I would like to see more like that!

# data[].attributes.body
The time table is not great... breaks are often long and some days we are only in for an hour or two.. would be better if everything was closer.. very hard for the commuters on the course.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel hugely supported by Helen, she has been incredibly helpful and I just want to mention that she has really helped me to stay on this course and I love her enthusiasm! :-)

# data[].attributes.body
Essay writing and APA workshops would be great as this is something I struggle with a lot

# data[].attributes.body
It would be good if groups were reminded of communication skills and task delegation like we were in development last year so that people don’t take it upon themselves to do the all the work with out talking to anyone else and then complain that they’ve done all the work. Or just no group Work in general would be even better. If we’re paying this much for our course it would be alot  better if our grade was reflective of our work alone and not the impact of others. Also if you’re in a group and feeling completely left out it makes you not want to attend anymore. At least with solo work you can get on with it and not feel isolated. Just warning of which modules have the most group work would be a start so that we can avoid them when making our module choices.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe it would be beneficial if we were shown examples of students work in the past for the research proposal and mark them, so we are clear n what the marking criteria is looking for.

# data[].attributes.body
The lectures have not been helpful for our assignment and due to Pierson having problems with opensesame at the beginning of the semester, there does not seem to be enough time to complete the assignment to a high standard. The seminars were poorly planned and not very useful, 2 may not be enough. Although Dean has been very helpful when booking a tutorial.
