Student feedback

“I rather enjoy the quizzes and appreciate the regular communication from my lecture, it shows me that although we can’t be in class we are still fully supported. They give me more confidence in my course as I get feedback on the quizzes.”
“It’s a great way of keeping in touch with everyone, having our quizzes keeps our brains active and the resources on canvas is great for extra revision. Support from our tutor is always there whenever we need it.”
“I have enjoyed watching the demonstration videos Leanne has posted of the practical element. By following these videos I am able to practice the routines at home which helps to keep my skills up to date.”
