Questions for Student FGI's
These are the sorts of questions I'm thinking about asking students to get a feel for their experience with the current course - and angled to get info for our development. Additions...changes?


 * What was it about the course you enjoyed the most?...what stands out as being really excellent...that you'd never get rid of if the course was to change?


 * What would you recommend changing...doing away with?


 * How would you describe the teaching and learning approach of this course?


 * What was the hardest part of the course?


 * If you had to list the types of activities you did on the course,what would they be?


 * What were some of your favourite activities? Why?


 * How did you tackle your study for this course?


 * What, if any, support did you need during the course?


 * Having done the course, what, in your opinion would be the main challenges for it to run as a distance course?(f-f group) …what is/might be difficult, from your experience?


 * Is there anything else you think might be useful for us to know? --Fiona 01:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
