Small cafeteria. However, since the University is in he city center, there are a lot of cafes and restaurants around. Every student has a personal tutor with whom they can share their problems.
There is support for people with disabilities. Also, for those who struggle to submit on time, can always apply for mitigating circumstances and get additional time. Also, people with disabilities or mental health issues can get additional time to submit work. Those who need help will always get support if they ask for it. The University provides great Faculty and the teaching is well above average however the aspects that need change is student support and questioning of wellbeing especially during the pandemic and lockdown.
Most students are currently living alone, away from home or even unable to socialise with the few friends they have made within a university setting. One of the major issues I still find is the price you pay for PowerPoint slides and youtube videos and the price tag you're paying especially for online lessons do not coincide with the level of education you receive. However, this is also only happening due to the pandemic and the changes in such a short span of time isn't easy for both faculty or students.
Guest speakers during online lessons have become a bit less frequent as expected, but it also creates this disconnection from students as some don't find it as easy to ask questions or speak to the speakers individually. I can't really explain any further in terms of job prospects as I'm still in my 2nd Year. Most of it remains clean due to the severity of Covid, However this wasn't always the case as studio would be messy due to student habitation and I place that mainly on the student upkeep rather than the universities.
They dont really press on it, especially if you're a student who is finding lessons or specific modules difficult. All they really do is provide you with links or email you about student wellbeing but they could do a better job of reaching out to those students who need help, slacking or even ones that are new to the new university environment as they just expect you to have those skills as adults but we all have our bad days.
Most of my lecturers were encouraging and supportive, making sure we were still getting the education and motivated needed for a future in the industry, however 1 or 2 had absolutely unacceptable behaviour during lectures.
The overall experience has been a challenging and engaging experienxe overall and has helped me to grow my skills further throught being confident and voicing my opinions on the growing world of science and how it is changing out life everyday.
Online learning has been hard. Online office hours are available for student to drop in to ask module leaders any queries regarding the course or for support. I find this quite helpful as communication is still possible outside of teaching hours. Online learning has been challenging but a lot easier to attend due to lectures and seminars being online.
But this lacks the interaction I would have liked that seems to be much more possible inside the actual lecture halls or classrooms, i finf that student engagement with teachers and their peers is almost nonexistent in some classes and people, when split into breakout groups for discussion for example, tend to stay quiet and just not contribute at all.
The absence of such interaction and engagement could be caused by the fact that cameras are not made a requirement to be turned on in sessions so people find it easier to do things at their will as their faces are not visible to other people. Exams and in class tests seems to be unfair but generally well regulated. Most are open book exams which in experience doesnt align with usual exam arrangements in person. Students are being awarded higher marks but due to the possibility of cheating and collusion, marks are downgraded which seems fair.
I find that in some modules, lecturers, module leaders and seminar tutors dont communicate as well. These mark schemes are not well explained by the module leader and not well communicated to the markers so students are left confused of what is expected of them.
