Student Comments - 1

All the tutors were really approachable and

helpful and were receptive to my questions.The timetable was particularly appropriateand the individual meeting with my tutor onthe Friday-the last day was also particularlyuseful. I found all the sessions useful but in

particular the session on using the DVD andalso the introduction to academic writing.

It was indeed an eye-opener for me.. The lessonswere conducted in a very professional, enthusiastic,

fun, creative way and most important of all sharingreal life experiences to me. The lecturers did reallygive their one hundred and more percent in thiscourse. What can I say - both STU and Sheffield havea long history, a great reputation, a strong supportand caring team and a well-organised management

to ensure the students get the best with all their zestto help the students.

Three areas that were done well:

1. The lecturers were clearly knowledgeable good!

2. The lecturers were also approachable and did notassume a position of superiority, but instead,shared their knowledge and experience with thestudents great!

3. Finally, the lecturers were very ready to listen tothe students ideas, were genuinely interested tolearn what their students opinions were on the

issues under discussion even if these opinionswere different from their own and, mostimportantly, did not impose their own ideas andbeliefs on the students excellent!
