Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
I wish lecturers were longer, due to technical issues I often find lectures starting late. At the same time some lecturers also started before the start time, meaning that if I was across the campus I would find that I might miss key information Actual lectures are great though, the information is well conveyed and ease to approach, gibing the guidance needed to suceed in essays
