Really appreciated how you brought your own knowledge and experience to the topics discussed, shared things like papers, and graphics and made recommendations about additional resources throughout the module. Overall, thought you did an excellent job!
Being open and encouraging when someone is struggling to explain themselves, or needs a prompt during a discussion. I always felt like I could say what was on my mind and you'd always listen and be encouraging or push me to develop the idea further.
Being incredibly helpful and very clear and concise - I feel like I learnt so much in these tutorials and that you really knew the topics well and used the hour that we had together very efficiently! You also included all individuals in the tutorial very well, helping us to develop ideas and always had resources to direct us to that would help!
You always spend enough time with each student to go over their research, which is very helpful.
Facilitating discussions in a way that really encourages participation, but feels casual and interesting. Also, tying the skills we're learning to real-life applicability makes the tutorials more helpful and engaging. Overall, really enjoyed this tutorial and feel like I learned so much in the past few months!
Thank you, as this is our last session I would like to mention it was really a good experience learning from you. Sessions were very interactive and fun to attend to.
Thank you so much for the discussions, our tutorial classes help me understand better.
Poushali was an excellent tutor for this module, and I particularly appreciated hearing her and colleagues on the course own experiences with the various subjects covered.
Really liked the variety of types of materials we discussed - books, journals, videos. You are great at explaining things and at a pace that makes it easy to follow. Also thanks for motivating us to engage with the materials and forums, sometimes we need this!
I like how you related the teaching materials to your experience, and that is something that I appreciate during tutorials.
