I had a meeting with my personal tutor

-
As you know, I had a meeting with my personal tutor. It went very well.

Before university, I studied at a college. I feel that it was likely to mimic the university lifestyle and to a certain extend I was correct. The respect between students and lecturers is different to the respect of a school teacher and a student. Also, the facilities are very much the same in the sense that there are dedicated computing rooms in which we can study, along with a library and accessible staff offices. However, moving to university had me expecting better quality of facilities, lecturers, module information etc.

Some of the things I raised in the meeting was a lack of understanding from some of the lectures, along with a lack of assistance from some tutors. I also had a chance to tell him what has been going well with the course. I feel like the good here outweighed the bad, as I am currently loving my university experience. Saying this, there are a few issues I would like to be resolved, and I have been assured that comments (good and bad) will be passed onto the necessary lectures. To me, that sounds like it went well!

Also., I got a chance to tell my personal tutor how I felt the work load was, and how I am doing personally .It got discussed that currently I have small issues at home, and I have been assured that if anything is to crop up or out of hand, the university are here to support me. That has reassured me as I now feel like the staff genuinely care for our wellbeing.

Below, I have included another analysis, where I went into more depth on some of the points listed above: I've tried to show you some of the reasoning behind these points of criticism. Hopefully this is enough for you to understand what it is that I am trying to show you; a reflection on weakness and strength and why I feel these have been placed in the category they have. The same applies for the opportunities and threats. In this "Enhanced SWOT Analysis" we can see some explanation as to why these points have been placed where they are. The next post is going to be a Skills Audit, or skills ...

This post is going to be a big one. In this one, I am going to show you the skills assessment I carried out.

VARK Questionnaire

The VARK questionnaire was amazing! By answering a series of question and using the marking key, I have been able to identify my stronger learning style.   I mostly qualify as a read/write learner, and am least likely to learn visually. This questionnaire has helped me understand where and how I should approach learning, and which form of learning is the most effective for me.
