Very Good

really bad

Just the course content and the hands on experience

They are good at it

Spectacular. In regards to the studios in which HNC/D students practice and work in for recording, a clear and attentive care to obtain and utilize high quality equipment is valiantly visible.

For students who are more than capable of handling such a bombastic work ethic the college appears to be a hub of ease and settlement to prosper into sub-subjects that the main course is gently linked into. However as previously mentioned, for students for feel to be incapable of time handling their new demanded working style, a closer look into personally asking as to why such emotions a clearly on repeat. Understanding that an industry standard version of teaching is preferred to naturally mould students to become furthermore fluent into their future environments... perhaps a lighter tone should be introduced for the first year (again, for students who feel pressured).

I admire the decision to teach the students within the course in the style of how an industry environment would take place. However the same positive of this teaching appears to be their negative. Students that are not of an academic background appear to be challenged by the 'intense' workload, however this is of course only in theory that such students simply need to practice their work ethic. However the course should specifically hold moments in sessions apart from TPA to assist such students within class, to constantly ask and reassure that the student who feel unconfident are indeed on track.

The college allows students to become aware of what it takes to become recognisable within the industry. To elaborate, the style of teaching embeds on the students to become heavily self aware in what they are and are not capable with by healthily limiting support after delivering a piece of information. This of course allows for the student to understand that what they want in life will only come to them by how much they will give back.

Excellent facilities , always available aswell.

The tutors feed back is really good and they always show you on how you can improve your work. The study plus sessions help a lot to complete and assignments that I am struggling with

The hands on approach, and the clear instructions/ explainations on how to do things. Sometimes deadlines are unclear but are always made clear eventually

The college gives us vital knowledge and plenty of experience to go on and get a job in a wide variety of fields of work. The tutors also explain how many avenues there are to explore when looking for a job

The facilities at West Herts College allow me to work on designs and print research/final outcomes. Support is also available when needed.

Very helpful and intuitive

The communication with the teacher and focus

17

Through its work based learning module

They are good, as it allows music students to be able to achieve their goals in a wau that is desired rather than having to work your way round outdated equipment. However the facilities has allowed to remain up to date

The support is available for everyone, not just for music students as there facilities that help with particular assignments that make sure you are remaining on track on passing your assignments.

We have a focussed environment however the tutors allow students ability to communicate with others to ensure that students are hitting the right criteria

15

Equips student with knowledge of what to expect in the industry. Also sets up various courses such as Pro tools courses to earn certification which would increase employability.

Pretty impressive

The support offers is ok

I don’t like the fact the we get given too many assignments thrown at us at once however I do like the fact that we get taught how to use certain software and how to do certain things for industry standard

16

Teaches us certain things that we need to be good at in order to get into the industry and have certain skills to be acknowledged by certain jobs

- Have access to computers and class rooms. - We have a degree room, which helps us to study as only degree students can have access to the room.

The feedback I get from the lecturer has helped me out with my work. I try to aim more and feel motivated when doing work. If I do not understand something the lecturers would have a one to one with me to explain it.

Most: - Independent work but also get help when needed. Least: - The days do get very long, which does not motivate me.

I have learnt so much this year as I have improved on many different skills that I have been struggling on before. These skills will help me in the future as they would come in as a part of the skills that will be needed for me to succeed.

They are good and all the relevant resources for my course are avaliable.

The feedback from tutors are really well. They tend to give you feedback as soon as possible and with assignment they give the grades and feedback in time before the next assignment so we don't make the same mistakes.

The tutors teach really well and cover what is required in assignments or exams. The least liked thing is the lectures are too long and its gets tiring by the end of the day.

It makes effort in being prepared for work placement. This is so far from the work we do in lessons it prepares me in what to expect.

Very good

Very good support offered by the college. Tutors always read to help and look at work to give feedback.

What i like most about the course is that they are in small classes as well as focus on developing skills needed for the business life.

Transferable skill Opportunity to top up and do placement
