Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

My overall experience has been satisfactory, I receive the bare minimum amount of help through messaging on Microsoft Teams, I probably would have failed by now if it wasn’t for my fellow classmates teaching me on the things I don’t understand

THIRD YEAR

University rating (5)

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

My experience at Fife College has been amazing because I got support from the staff and classmates. We were all there to help each other. This year was different to me because my class was online through Microsoft Teams and it was a bit different for me as I am profoundly deaf. Looking forward to 4th year again!

Facilities (5)

How good are your university's facilities?

The college facilities are open 24/7 for students whoever need equipment for their work. The jewellery and furniture workshop are open for them to make stuff. The study support is always open too for those who need help or struggling with the work. Support base and library have got technologies for students who doesn't have one, they can hire it in the library for so many hours. There are also student group bases where you can hire for presentation or working closely with others. The facilities are open and always clean 24/7 by the college staff.

Student support (5)

How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).

Support from the college has been amazing, they have supported us whenever we need them. Students can get support straight away for those who have disabilities, mental health, can't read or write. They are there to help 24/7

Lecturers and teaching quality (5)

What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?

My course is taught online by 4 different classes! The hours for the course is 12 hours - Monday 1-4pm, Tuesday 9-12am & 1-4pm, Wednesday 9-12am and the rest of the week is self-study. Our contact with the tutors are replied back to, they are here for us 24/7. If we had a problem, they let us to focus on that before moving on.

How many contact hours per week do you have?

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I think for what it is, it has been good, I feel I gained new friends and so far that has been the one main thing I have gained, from the course in learning it has been very minimal due to it being online, which is slightly upsetting but I hope for 2nd year to be better in what I learn.
