“What makes her lectures so interesting is that she does not read off the seminar slides but is able to provide with a wealth of information. Her open, warm and empathetic approach makes her extremely approachable and is well liked and highly respected by my cohort.”
“XXX divides the group up into smaller groups. I have found this a very positive experience, as it has helped me to consolidate my learning further. Whilst in our small groups, XXX helps to facilitate further discussion by listening tentatively to each and every one of us and also by joining in and using her own knowledge and experience. I feel this has been motivational and also found that this way of teaching makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome. To me, it is clear that the way XXX teaches makes everyone get involved and also makes everyone interact as part of a larger group.”

“…thank him: - for his infectious enthusiasm - for making complex concepts and technicalities seem simple - for taking so much time to help and advise us individually - more than we were used to from most other teachers we've had - and - for ensuring that we take our ideas and creative vision seriously - making us feel that anything is doable - as well as helping us explore them playfully and curiously.”
“…committed to the learning of her students. She took an interest in us as individuals and was supportive and happy for us when we seemed to be grasping the material. She is engaging and extremely knowledgeable on the topic and I feel lucky to have had an expert teach me. The way she presents information is accessible and thought-provoking.”
- Outstanding or Innovative Assessment and feedback
-
“I look forward to his lectures, he's always cheerful and extremely helpful when you need it. He put up quizzes on study direct which were a very useful revision resource. Immediate feedback was given which straightened out any misunderstandings that I may have had.”
“…encouraged us to be critical and innovative in our work, which reflected her own approach to the subject. The feedback we got was abundant and valuable for our dissertations this term. She also encouraged us to give feedback to each other during the presentations. The whole module was really enjoyable.”
- Outstanding or Innovative Professional Services Support for the Learning Experience
-
“She is not judgmental and is very calming - offering practical solutions at times of stress and worry. During my assessment periods and other high-stress periods of the term, she offers practical solutions in a way that is not patronising but shows understanding of the challenges we face as students.”
“Just knowing that - when it felt like I was lost in the anonymity of university - I had a member of staff who really seemed invested in me finishing my education has kept me engaged and motivated.”
“She always finds a way to make things possible and has a brilliant can do attitude to requests made by both staff and students alike. The office staff all love her and she has created a very welcoming atmosphere in the XXX office. She has the attitude where everything can be improved and all suggestions are taken seriously.”
- Outstanding or Innovative Support for the Learning Experience
-
“…an element we all greatly appreciate XXX is her way of subtly pushing students not simply towards the right answers, but towards asking the right questions in order to draw from a wide scope of perspectives on any given topic. For us, following XXX classes ensures more than just acquiring knowledge, but learning how to apply this knowledge into our future careers.”
“He also follows up his lectures with a concise set of written notes - I've not had a lecturer do this with the exemption of him. These are incredibly useful for revision and getting your head round the complex content. I hope to have him teach next year.”
“he is very interactive with his lectures and workshops; during lectures he would get us to question his lecture materials and discuss about it and during the workshop he will get us to show our answers on the board and as a group would discuss if it’s right or wrong and why it’s wrong.”
