Student reviews

I enjoyed learning about this module, However in some aspects I found it hard as this was a second topic I was taking alongside another but I managed to keep on top of it by getting support from tutors.

I really enjoyed this module. I found that it covered a range of topics and the book was very helpful to go back to. I also found my tutor to be very supportive and guided me through when needed in emails.

I look forward to learning in my second year.

I thoroughly enjoyed E104 and achieved a great result.
It was more online-based than a previous module I had done, so that took some getting used to, and I had to adapt how I made notes. This module only came with one reader, which was great but small (Not much margin space for notes).

My tutor was fantastic and her help and support were second to none. Very quick replies for emails and she provided plenty of examples if I felt stuck in an area.

The layout of the module was great in terms of block introduction, a topic per week, and then consolidation. I never found myself getting behind, the workload was fair, and I was able to time manage well.

I would highly recommend this module. It touches on a whole range of topics and has something that could appeal to everyone. I particularly liked the tutor-marked assignment that included a PowerPoint presentation and script that had to go with it. It may sound a bit daunting, it did to me at first, but it was definitely a highlight!
