COMMENTS - What do you like most or how can we improve?

get wireless internet :P

i think that the collage offers good service which is provided

The advice and comments from the staff, the amount of effort they do to help the students suceed.

Being more lax on units in a course that learners have already completed.

Get better USB drives as they corrupt. I completed work for the next day used my USB drive to transfer the work and the USB had

corrupted. I have a backup of the work hoever this wasn't very conveniant.

The things that i like most during my lessons is that we dont have to do everything alone and we are aloud to work in pairs or groups

not for all of our tasks but for most, i also like the fact that we are aloud to ask for help if we are stuck and the tutors are willing to help

us as much as they can, the main point that i would like to point out and could be inproved is that the deadlines for our work could be

longer other than that it is a really good and detailed course

The thigs that i like most about the college is that there is always someone there to help you when needed no matter what the situation.

The things that could be improved are the coursewrok deadlines because too little time is given to complete all coursework and by

being given more time could make our coursework more interesting by having more time to make it better.

everything is great dnt need to change lol :D

i like how all the tutors that are at college gwent are willing to help you with assignemts, and they also explain the assignments very

clearly. the courses is very organised i no my deadlines and i no what critera has to be in the assignemts overall i am very pleased

with my second year at college gwent, and the only things that should be inmproved on the campus grounds is the smoking area as

when it rains students get wet.

I like how the staff keep me motivated to succeed in my course, I wish that the cimputers were more up to date though

i am happy with my course

I like tutorial most because we all get to discuss things and voice our oppinions I also find my corse tutor (mandie mullen) very helpfull,

understanding and supportive. I have enjoyed my time so far at the college, I enjoy all my lessons and find them interesting, all the

tutors are helpfull and explain things if I do not understand them.

i like tutoral most because we get to dicuss everything with our group and tutor and if we have any problems then can be sorted fairly.

You can improve with some teachers with when explaining and asking for certain work to be more specific so we understand and do

not get the wrong idea because some teachers are not specific and causes tension.

I enjoy the course a lot. I think the lecturers are very helpful and are pushing me with my assignments so that I am able to reach my full

potential.

I like the colege and the course i am doing it is good. I like my teachers because i learn something iteresting in their.

I like my course, I like my teachers and I would like to keep it like that throughout the year.

Student union coming to classes to recruit students in the union more often, about once every 3 months or so. Students don't know

their timetable for a couple of weeks and if they have days off they can then find student union if my idea appeals to you. :)

I think the structure of the course is excellent. My course tutor has thoroughly helped me from the start of the year, making any of my

personal problems easier to deal with.

The only thing that is unsettling is knowing that if some people do not attend then the course can be cancelled. Otherwise the course

and my tutors are excellent

lecturers could be a bit more helpful and respectful towards students because they may not understand what we do or do not

understand and remain a bit more cheeful instead of boring.

fish fingers

Get more survilence

To ask for help more often

Can improve by sharing the hours equally with all the tutors

it a good coruse

i like everything that we doing in my course
