https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs Hi guys, the reps have a PCM (Program Committee Meeting) next week where we feedback any issues/ideas and even successes across your modules/University life this semester en-us 2022-03-11 16:36:17 UTC 2025-11-06 11:27:12 UTC hello@padlet.com gracelavelle02 https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2090815741 Uni to consider commuting students needs and making the timetable more friendly to them by:

-collating lessons into 2/3+ lessons in a day
-stop scheduling students with one lesson in a day
-consider changing morning in person lessons to be after 9am because they are harder for commuters to get there on time before 9am

Group work
-consider making all group projects to be graded individually to make a more accurate reflection of individual contributions ]]> 2022-03-11 17:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2090815741 https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2090833014 Completely agree about the considerations for commuters and the group assignments. Whilst I understand the uni are offering group work opportunities to enhance students experience. For those of us with vast work experience and team work history, it is not as essential. 
Considering how much group work we have this year compared to the previous 2 years, I feel is very unreasonable. This year is most essential for our final grades, and we’re still having to work with people that do not communicate or contribute, leaving you to do the work and pulling your grade down. 
By the time this feedback goes through it may be too late, but it would be helpful if they can consider an appeal or an alternative request for individual grading for groups where people have contributed very little?

Also with the amount of “hiccups” we have had this semesters; COVID, Storm Eunice. I think the uni should look into how students are coping with the assignments. Making sure everyone is on track and no one is left behind. ]]> 2022-03-11 17:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2090857229 https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2090943004 I agree about the timetabling, when there is only one on-campus lesson to travel for it can be very inconvenient especially when it is really early or late.

With regards to group work, I agree that it should be marked individually as it does not truly allow for us to show our knowledge. There are others who do not put as much thought or care into group work so that is not fair on those who do especially when these grades are so crucial for our degrees.

Also, to stop using the first week of a semester as introduction and just put introduction material online so that lecturers can get straight on with content and this gives more time for assessments as well.]]> 2022-03-11 18:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2090943004 https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2094799267 As an event management student, I feel their needs to be more practical events students can get involved in or have a chance to organise. 
Also, agreeing with others and not having only one lesson on certain days for commuters as its not practical and they have to stay at uni and do work to make most of their journey, which can be done at home.]]> 2022-03-14 23:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ryancbbranford/o0jlfhtqa0u2pyhs/wish/2094799267
