Student Expectations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What expectations do you think new students have about University? Ask the Audience

Expectations ,[object Object],“ I expect to sign up to do a hundred and one things and then get stressed because I can't cope with them all. Or I expect I will try too hard and therefore overload myself with unnecessary pressure and get stressed”

How do students think they learn best? ,[object Object],“ Through repetition. I like to study independently initially but then to consolidate the learning I like to discuss it and have feedback on it. I have a low attention span and so find a lot of reading and quiet time very hard work. I like to interact with people and so the discussion and debate of ideas appeals to me greatly” “ I learn best from doing things or thinking through a problem with other people or by writing something down, drawing it. I don't learn much by just reading something”

[object Object],What is their best experience? “ The tutorials were very helpful to guide the students during the year. Also seminars and other supporting classes. I felt that the lecturers were people who we can speak with and this is necessary for a non English student”

[object Object],What one thing would they change? “ More meetings to promote the relation among student (same or different years).. to exchange experiences, knowledge about life in the city, at Uni..etc…” “ More podcasts from lectures to be available” “ I want observers come to observe lecturers and see how they teaching. I also want them to ask students in private about lecturers” “ More online FAQs to assist those of us who cannot always contact the university during opening times”
