https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2 made for you en-us 2020-10-21 14:10:07 UTC 2023-03-01 16:38:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9e0.png chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/848831826 This padlet is for Anina, Stella, Chrysie, and Eduardo to gather information from you about the issues you may be facing that the course staff team could fix or anything that's going particularly well and you want our course team to know and keep doing in the future (remember this is the first year this course is running so anything we like/don't like will most likely affect how the course continues for others).

I have formatted the padlet so that anyone can make comments to raise issues or successes and then you can vote on them; this way, if there are many, we can identify which are affecting most people and therefore the priority to be brought up in our meetings.
          If you agree with someone but have something to add, up-vote their post and then make a comment for your addition. 
        When you make a post try to fit it into the categories set out, or the one most relevant to you comment if it spans more than one category, but if it doesn't fit into any of them use the miscellaneous category. The comments should be anonymous so you feel more comfortable raising the point but if it turns out that it's not, please let us know so we can review that in the formatting.

If you have any questions about the padlet let us know and we'll do the best to answer them! :)]]> 2020-10-21 14:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/848831826 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/849015109 We raised the issues of the skills disparity for coding today and Yannis asked if we could give some ways that they could help us, if you have any ideas put them into the comments under this post :)]]> 2020-10-21 15:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/849015109 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/856435232 A little feedback: for some seminars/practicals it feels a bit repetitive and it doesn't feel like we're learning something new.

The hour flies by and I do not feel like I've learnt something new to take home with me, feels repetitive at times. However, the first session in psych and development where we looked at essay skills and how to write for the correct audience  was super useful. I think sessions targetted at assignment work and how to improve, would be such a better replacement for just small conversations in breakout rooms where we reiterate what the lectures said or basic comprehension questions about articles. ]]> 2021-02-04 22:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1166385131 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1166680449 some classes on essay writing skills (university standard) as some students could be new to this.

I know they don't want to give us grades for our formative essays so we don't 'rest on our laurels' or become disappointed if our summative grade is very different but we NEED guidance and some kind of idea of where we are situated on our curve. I would prefer to not go through the stress of having no idea of what my work is worth even if it means I'm slightly disappointed in the end. AND. if the grade goes down (despite modifications made according to feedback) this may indicate disparity in our markers' process and I'm sure it would be very important for them to be aware of that.... PLEASE stop underestimating how hard and stressful the transition to writing in English at uni can be.

It is so frustrating when this happens because many ppl get stressed out for absolutely no reason. We would much rather you gave us a longer window or were a bit more vague as long as you stuck to your word!!! This is especially annoying when you email us saying that there will be a delay ‘of a couple of days’ but this is in fact 7-14 DAYS. This occurs in most of our modules but especially in research methods. We understand that it’s stressful for markers and you may not have an exact date or time but even just saying ‘the marks will be out next week’ and sticking to your word would be better than what’s happening at the moment. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1536362196 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875471957 2021-11-08 15:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875471957 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875472755 2021-11-08 15:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875472755 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875473409 2021-11-08 15:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875473409 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875473934 2021-11-08 15:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875473934 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875477658 The key card scanner hasn't been allowing students to enter of leave the Hub since the beginning of term... is that normal of can it be fixed?]]> 2021-11-08 15:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875477658 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875478401 2021-11-08 15:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875478401 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875478799 2021-11-08 15:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875478799 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/1875501085 My personal tutor never replies to my emails, or those from her other tutees for that matter.

Instead of being the suggested 30 booklet options, there were only 11, some of which only are recruiting one person!! 
Also, we are given the same booklet as the Psychology Bsc, so all placements are very psychology focus, lacking in neuroscience options. This also means there is further competition.
I have searched on Kings Careers as well as the alternative websites they gave us and haven’t found much even linked to psychology!
How I am supposed to find a placement suited to me? None of the provided options jumped out at me - I want to be itching to apply for placement opportunities but these options have me questioning whether or not I should just settle with what's given.

Now, we are not getting individual feedback before submission of our pre-registration, only group feedback.

For me personally, I understand the content as I did maths and further maths at A-level. However, it still takes me a while to remember as that was a very long time ago and not to mention for those who went straight from a-level to uni (like me) didn’t even fully finish the course or take the exams.

Alot of it feels like we should be giving formulaic answers and yet we're critiqued if we're too unoriginal. Overall I feel like we need greater clarity on alot of our coursework in general and what they expect of us, rather than just vague generalities and an essay structure which we're then critiqued for using. It would be nice as well if they could standardise it across subjects because we're often doing the essays at the same time and expecting completely different tones, structures, patterns of writing etc, is hard enough for native English speakers under the pressure of multiple essays let along people for who English is not a first language. ]]> 2022-02-01 19:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2024081032 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2024150091 I'm beyond disappointed really. There is such a lack of understanding for the students who have never done A-Level Maths, we are being asked for so much and yet the slides are EMPTY. The reading doesn't relate to the lectures either and the pace of the lectures are too quick and lack so much detail. Simply saying 'this is a refresher for some... or not' and then going on to explain something so complicated is honestly so frustrating to see.

We're taught the mathematics as if we all did A-Level maths which is the complete opposite to any other subject where we've gone over the A-Level Biology, Chemistry or Psychology stuff first before going to the degree level learning to make sure everyone has the same base of learning. We're expected to know about logarithms and derivatives and functions and the lectures are treated as refreshers rather than first time learning. I've literally had to go on Wikipedia to understand what I'm meant to do for any of the maths and pur lecturer doesn't even write the formula in an intuitive or understandable way.

The computing is just as bad, we're expected to know alot of different functions and different ways that MATLAB works without being taught any of it. I dont want to have to spend two hours on Google to learn for myself when I'm playing money specifically to be taught how to code. If that's how its going to work then I might as well not be in university and just learn to code MATLAB in my own time. We should be taught the fundamentals and we aren't. 


The questions we are given both for coursework and in lesson are always really vague as well. There's different ways to interpret them and it causes everyone to struggle to understand what is actually wanted of us. ]]> 2022-02-03 11:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2027271405 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2027275966 The delivery of content is poor. We are expected to use MATLAB, however we have been thrown into the deep end with this software. In the lectures, we are not taught anything about MATLAB and yet in the practical classes, we are expected to know how to complete the questions, with no background to an introduction whatsoever. This course is being delivered too fast. At least with R studio, we were introduced to basic functions and progressively built on this knowledge to understand more complex functions. This isn’t the case for MATLAB and I can speak for many that this is a very difficult course which many people are struggling with. ]]> 2022-02-03 11:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2027275966 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2027277035 Can we please ask Sam to upload the annotated PDFs a bit sooner.

The EEG practicals are quite nice and actually allow us to gain experience within the field, however for a module like Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience where we are learning about techniques such as PCR, Western Blotting etc it would be nice to have practicals to teach us. Watching videos and learning the theory is not enough to gain proper experience. Having spoken to others on the course they agree. Also paying such a high tuition compared to other degrees I would assume it's because of the science aspect of it - however we aren't even getting the full experience? It would be better if we can actually go into labs for the remaining of the semester. It is honestly really dry just having to read and learn information without getting practical hands on experience.

By looking at the modules individually everything seems not so bad at least able to follow but by looking at the 4 modules as a whole I only see MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and TORTURE. 
1. Week 5 we have 4 deadlines - Monday: journal club + grant proposal and 
2. Thursday: MCN presentation + cog brain final presentation
this is firstly unfair for people doing the presentation for MCN that week because they have extra to do compared to the other half of the cohort. Secondly, this workload is not acceptable (even without the MCN presentation)
I really do think that the designing of this semester's modules and workload is way too UNBELIEVABLE and AMBITIOUS 
ps. during the EEG lab the other day Katja even told me directly "we were too ambitious about the formation of this module", "and we would like you to provide feedback so we could improve for the next year". 
This fully says that the module teams are aware of this issue of too much workload and too much depth of papers given to us but basically they aren't trying to change anything for us but instead will do for the next year. 
I just think this is the most frustrating of all when the problem is recognized and stated but they don't give a shi*t in doing anything. 
We're basically just guinea pigs for this hell new major of KCL. ]]> 2022-02-06 22:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2031896958 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2032526518 My tutor hasn't made contact with my tutor group in ages, feels like I don't even have one. ]]> 2022-02-07 08:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2032526518 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2032531823 It would be great if they provided lecture slides and transcripts for all modules.

For Molecular and Cellular, the lectures are quite simple, with basic a level bio knowledge.  Which is fine, however, the seminar prep gives very complex, high level papers that are difficult to understand. (a little point away from the main point - Wayy  too much prep work for this module! I don't have enough time in my day to get it done along with the several deadlines). And whilst the papers and lectures go over the same topic, the level of difficulty between the two are very different. 

For Computing module, My main issue is how we're taught maths in the lectures, which is fine, but then expected to compute everything with no knowledge of matlab. Even the assigned reading doesn't really go over some of the basics that we need for MATLAB, or at least they come later in another week. My issue with this is that I end up spending too much time trying to work out certain functions or methods that are the basics of MATLAB during the session, when I should be focusing on how to solve the questions, after already having a good knowledge on MATLAB. In the end, after countless research, I end up having to look at the answer scripts, which I feel like beats the purpose of solving the question. :(]]> 2022-02-07 20:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2034001672 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2034013438 I have Andrew and he is a great tutor. Every time I contact him about any issues I have he is always on it and makes an active effort and goes out of his way to help me out. I told him I was struggling with MATLAB and he let me borrow one of his own MATLAB books so I can get the hang of it better :')]]> 2022-02-07 20:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2034013438 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2034032632 This might be a lot to ask but having a prayer room in the WEC would be amazing.

The staff have shown a complete lack of communication between modules leading to basically four weeks where there were a minimum of two deadlines in each (these were also not small deadlines but essays or projects that take at least a week and a half to plan and organise). The worst part is April is meant to be a revision period to revise for stuff we did last term for our May exams. It is understandable to have a few deadlines in this period but I really feel like the fact we had around 10 deadlines was extremely stressful and overwhelming. The worst part is this is only our second year. It feels as if in order to get everything done, I have had to completely neglect the other parts of my life during the entire last month and a half. When were we meant to have any time to do other university activities such as mix with societies/clubs. I just feel extremely let down by the entire team and when they say “we want to make sure you don’t feel like Guinea pigs” I would just like them to know that that is all I personally feel at the moment. As I said I am extremely frustrated with this course and can not wait for a break. I feel completely burnt out and the idea of exams now after all the assignments we have done feels extremely stressful and overwhelming. For future and especially for the first years going into their second year, I really hope the staff begin talking to each other and planning better cause this has been awful :(]]> 2022-05-03 16:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2168587509 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2168596584 I really enjoyed the “Joker” movie night. I thought it was really interesting the ways in which they tied the film to neuroscience and brought an educational viewpoint to it :) 

I was upset they decided to do the next movie night the day before our TEB essay was due :( I hope they get to do another before the end of the year. ]]> 2022-05-03 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2168596584 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2168740471 The amount of assignments this term meant by the end I was completely burnt out and it prevented me being able to complete assessments to a standard that I would do normally. ]]> 2022-05-03 17:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2168740471 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372082711 please *specify the module* you are talking about in your post title or if you are a placement/year abroad student!]]> 2022-11-06 23:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372082711 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083441 2022-11-06 23:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083441 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083652 2022-11-06 23:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083652 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083735 2022-11-06 23:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083735 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083829 2022-11-06 23:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083829 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083913 2022-11-06 23:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372083913 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372084068 2022-11-06 23:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2372084068 chrysiealexiou1 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2381765171 the feedback for the first journal club from memory mechanisms wasn't helpful in explaining what needed to be improved]]> 2022-11-13 19:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2381765171 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2381836578
This module is really interesting, but I feel like we have not been provided with the same background knowledge from previous years surrounding neuroscience that some of the other students from other courses on the module have been provided with. The only module that briefly overlapped some content was “the making of a brain” in first year first semester. The content is extremely detailed and it would’ve been nice to have had some more context and knowledge surrounding the topics.]]> 2022-11-13 21:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2381836578 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385041748 essay submissions every other week in the first 5 weeks were too much 😅😅😅 very short time frame for us to prepare them, especially for topics we were unfamiliar with!]]> 2022-11-15 15:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385041748 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385429204 I’ve asked for a meeting with my personal tutor a week before uni started. It’s now week 6 and they still haven’t arranged a meeting with me. I understand personal tutors being busy but why did they take up the role in the first place if they can’t commit to helping their students?? At this point I feel like my supervisor is more of my personal tutor than my actual one.  ]]> 2022-11-15 19:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385429204 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385432846 Repeating a post from last year about a prayer room / prayer mats being available at the WEC?  ]]> 2022-11-15 19:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385432846 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385437728 Although the graduate skills module is quite useful, I think it would also be good to have one on one meetings with personal tutors / career counsellors (idk just thinking) for life after uni?? Some students are international as well and it gets kinda overwhelming/ difficult to understand how to proceed with figuring out what you want to do after uni and also how to go about doing it in a country you are not as familiar with in terms of job aspects etc. ]]> 2022-11-15 19:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2385437728 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2386442586 I think we need more help in navigating around budgeting for postgraduate studies (not just at King's) maybe this is something Marina might want to cover. I personally am finding it really hard to figure out what support I'm available for and especially as I sit between the low and middle income brackets. I'm often left feeling like I'm not able to do a Master's since I can't afford to pay for it myself but I'm not really eligible for financial support- e.g. King's offers a £5,000 staying on grant but the financial threshold much lower than other universities such as Imperial. ]]> 2022-11-16 11:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2386442586 https://padlet.com/chrysiealexiou1/hgbialmkk2e6ahp2/wish/2386442595 the whole module is a mess, we get no assessment briefs for assignments and no real instructions, they’re not even really related to the lectures and the feedback is not helpful.
