https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix The first week of the term can always be hectic and full of stress. Therefore, through this padlet we wish to gather your feedback on how your first-week experience was. Please note down your feedback below. It can be about how the online sessions went, how difficult it was to find rooms on the campus, suggestions, things that went well, or, on the contrary, things that went bad. We will gather your opinions and hopefully resolve all the mishaps for a smooth-running term. Thank you for answering. en-us 2021-10-05 07:55:04 UTC 2021-11-10 13:07:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1792943863 Lecture capture doesn’t always show the video being recorded - we can only hear the sound so it can be hard to follow along for remote students]]> 2021-10-05 13:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1792943863 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1796402712 2021-10-06 13:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1796402712 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1796732329 Lecturers don't always let us know if they've put something on KEATS that we need to complete for our lectures (e.g. pre-recorded videos)
I know we should be checking ourselves but as we're only a couple of weeks in it would be nice to get an email just to give us a heads up that there's something we need to see - just while we're getting used to things - as we don't always know where to look for these things (for each module it seems they're in different places).]]> 2021-10-06 14:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1796732329 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1796980715 Teaching has been great so far and it's easy to tell our lecturers are really passionate about their subject which makes us more interested in what's being taught, but it would be really helpful if we went through core content in person more often and then had side content or summary work as pre-recorded things, instead of the other way round. I know that there's a lot to get through in the course and lecturers are trying their best to deliver all of it as efficiently as possible, but in-person teaching is a little less daunting and makes it easier to understand what's being taught because of its innately engaging nature—it's much easier for people to ask impromptu questions.]]> 2021-10-06 15:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1796980715 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1797020283 Sometimes when explaining the PowerPoint slides, lecturers say something that is really important but easy to miss because it isn't written on the slide itself. It would be great if the PowerPoints were a bit more thorough—if a little more of those important asides (e.g. what certain things mean, or their implications, etc.) was actually written on the PowerPoint. I also wish they'd give us a little more time to digest the content and take notes. ]]> 2021-10-06 15:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1797020283 sandrahoangova https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1797452789 Often times; videos can't be played since the sound system never works.  Also it would be nice if the department can give students more tips/ advice on obtaining books for the courses. (since physical copies are very limited). Other than that, first week was a great experience and looking forward to completing the course.

It would be nice if the lecturers could be more thorough and clear on some points they were making on the PowerPoints however? It would also be nice to have a summary/glossary of important terms that we could look back to.]]> 2021-10-06 20:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1797748144 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1808538606 It would be helpful if the lecturers taught us the basic/core content in person, as opposed to the online pre-recorded lectures. This is largely due to the fact that it is easier to engage and grasp the content in person, allowing us to have class discussions and ask questions as they arise. The pre-recorded lectures can be difficult to follow at times and without the core content that they covered, you fall behind in the on campus lectures.]]> 2021-10-11 18:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1808538606 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1808546277 As we are new into the course, I feel as though we would benefit from a glossary of key terminology that will be used in the modules, as sometimes the lecturers use words or refer to concepts that we don't understand, with the assumption that we already know what they are talking about. ]]> 2021-10-11 18:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1808546277 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1808564594 The lecturers are all very nice and friendly however at times it feels as though they are presenting a lot of information to us, which ends up being quite difficult to follow. Some lecturers are really engaging and encourage us to share our thoughts, contribute to discussions and engage in activities; these methods prove more effective in getting a proper understanding of topics.]]> 2021-10-11 19:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1808564594 https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1811320966 I don’t get the point of going to in-person lectures when all we do is go over the exact same PowerPoint slides we covered independently in the pre-recorded lecture. ]]> 2021-10-12 16:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahoangova/gbu5y0q60buyl6ix/wish/1811320966
