8. Supportive
“Anything I’ve felt I needed

to you and ask.”

9. Partner
“The key thing is that they
[the students] see our
joined up thinking.”

10. “Previously I thought that librarians sat in the
library and ordered books…They were not
visible to tutors…I have been positively
enlightened by the more open approach…which
values tutors and students alike. I think it is
essential that this open collaboration
continues.”

working with others too – might give me more
ideas of how we could do more together in my
programme.”

the possibilities of a pedagogic research project
which would involve [Clare] achieving some of
her aims and me achieving some of mine.”
