Unit feedback

Dear Students,

You will have received an email from SETU (Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units), inviting you to evaluate ATS 1316. Please do so! We really want to know what you think.

These surveys are taken extremely seriously by the University. They are used when staff members apply for promotion, or for other jobs. They are also used to make changes to the units for next year, drawing on student comments. These blogs, for example, emerged out of comments by students that they sometimes felt disconnected during first year. Hence, we have tried to build community and encourage your readings by running these blogs.

So let us know what you think of the unit. YOU ARE VERY POWERFUL!

Many thanks, Clare

P.S. You will also see a link on the right to a survey specifically asking you about the blog. We are really interested in your feedback on this learning tool in particular. This is separate from the University's SETU feedback.

Thanks!

Kathleen

Commenting

eMonk from the University of Edinburgh

Just letting you know when you make a comment it will now look a little different. Clicking on comments will take you to a new screen with the comment box in it. Follow the instructions on screen, and you should then be returned to the blog with your comment showing.

Some people were unable to make comments previously and I am trying to trouble shoot for them. Please bear with me!
