Not the best organised for PGCE, do not feel as if the university is best structured but the lecturers and leads do try their best to look after you which is appreciated read full review

building is confusing read full review
A mixed bag.
Poor induction - partly because it turned out I was the only student on my degree pathway, so was added to small groups of students doing unrelated subjects.
Some good teaching - some really quite poor.
Some marking feedback useful - some indifferent and once even insulting.
Poor experience for my mental health - a lot contributed to increased anxiety.
I needed extensions for some assignments, but these were not available - I was forced to use 'mitigating circumstances', which meant I got zero pending committee review. A very stressful experience.

Students and all my teachers are very supportive till now. I am getting immediate help as well.

There is sometimes problem with loaded videos in Panopto for the audio problem. I have still attended the first week only. Hence this problem I guess be sorted from next week, or else I will more understand about how to use Canvas. So far so good. read full review
