Plenty of reasons to celebrate
• 40 years of success• High academic entry requirements (now AAB)• Academic rigour and near market application
of knowledge noted by external examiners• Highly sought-after graduates (normally over
90% employment levels)
![Page 4: Challenging learners at Part 1: Development of an enquiry based module](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070423/568167f3550346895ddd6831/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
But on reflection…
• Demands of employers are changing
• We need to review what we teach and how we teach it
• Skills and expectations of incoming students are changing
Added to which…
• The experience of our students suggests change is needed
• RREF employer survey (2007)– Perception of complacency in
Department and students• Department Away Day (Jan 2007)
– Awareness that structure, content and teaching methods need addressing
• Reading Student Survey (Autumn 2008)– Low level of academic challenge at Part 1 – Low scores for active and collaborative
learning at Part 1– Low level of interaction with staff at part
1– Low level of engagement with e-learning

Encouraging and supporting and active learning
General points• Each project gradually requires more interpretation
by students• Clear and detailed assessment criteria• Blackboard discussion board• Surgeries• Group progress reports/intermediate milestones • Prompt feedback at each stage• Evaluation at each stage

Evaluation – so far Student evaluation:
Challenging & stimulating:• A lot – 61%/62%
A little – 35%/38%
Enjoyment:• A lot – 66%/69%• A little – 31%/28%
Comments largely positive or encouragingly negative (e.g. didn’t like it because I had to work hard to find the information)
Staff evaluation:(ie my perceptions!)
• It is a more satisfying way to ‘teach’
• Scaffolding is important (its a question of balance)
• Let the technology help – but recognise your (my) limitations
• It doesn’t have to be complicated• Don’t expect it to be less work (at
least not at first)• Student expectations change –
continuity important
