Best Aspect-
What I enjoyed most about studying at the University of Glasgow is, from my point of view, the diversity and inclusiveness of the atmosphere. As an international student, I was pretty apprehensive about adjustment. Due to events like Welcome Fair, the various cultural celebrations allowed me to breeze through making friends from all parts of the world. For instance, attending one of the many international student meetups brought me into conversations about other cultural standpoints on healthcare and research. Interacting with these individuals made me feel at home, furthering my perspective on how other parts of the world view and practice pharmacology, which I can now integrate into my studies and future career.
Not worst but needs improvement-
My journey at the University of Glasgow was not without challenges. For example, some assessments do not get more personalized feedback. Take, for example, one of the core modules, whereby some of the essays I did had general comments like "good structure" or "needs better analysis." With such comments, little trickles down into action items. The result, in an academic setting, is difficulty where quality in research writing is key to success.

Best aspects-
1. Flexibility in learning is offered via recorded lectures, interactive discussions, and practical sessions.
2. Professors are so knowledgeable and approachable; their readiness to guide me, either during office hours or via e-mail, enriched my learning so much.
3. Other facilities are also quite good, like the library and places to study.
Worst aspects-
1. Course hours are sometimes very overwhelming during peak periods, especially with multiple assignments or projects in combination with working part-time.
2. Certain modules are rushed, and one can barely comprehend complicated subjects.

Engaged teaching and support staff makes it great. I'm an online student so have limited experience of the facilities location etc of the university. I'm glad this course is offered online as not many universities offer this option and it allows me to study alongside my job.

My course is fully online. There are two practicals but apart from that there isn't any dedicated contact time with lecturers. You have to contact them directly to set up a meeting, so virtual office hours would be helpful. I like the format of the online class modules. I think some more proofreading of the content would be good as there's been some spelling mistakes and some confusing sentences.
