What are the views of tourism students?
Students generally have a favourable view of their course, with many appreciating the supportive staff, engaging teaching methods, and relevant learning opportunities. However, some students feel that certain aspects of the course could be improved, such as providing more practical skills, making lectures more interactive, and offering better support for international students.
Several students praise the staff for being approachable, helpful, and understanding, particularly regarding personal issues and academic guidance. The variety of assessments and modules is also a strength, with many finding the content interesting and relevant to their future careers.
Some students express frustration with certain aspects of the course organisation, such as last-minute lecture cancellations, poorly timed deadlines, and inadequate support for group work. A few students also feel that some lecturers are not engaging or influential in their teaching methods.
Additionally, many international students express concerns about the high fees they pay compared to domestic students, with some feeling that more financial support or scholarships should be available.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement, many students seem to enjoy their course and appreciate the efforts made by staff to provide a supportive and engaging learning environment.
