First class thoughts

Hello, and a warm official welcome to you all. It was lovely to see you all over the last couple of days and thank you for your engagement.

We went over the weekly plan of classes, the assessments (running order being formal meeting on young people and debt, report on the aforementioned and finally reading analysis), an overview of what the unit is about and why it is so important on your HN Programme, a getting to know you session, which I presented some info on myself, too. 

Hopefully everything reassured you that you are in good hands with my experience, but it IS a demanding unit, so full attendance and engagement is a must.

We also shared ideas and experiences on oral presentation delivery too, which was an excellent session. 

I am looking forward to working with HN Accounts students again, as it has been a few years since I have, and you are the first at Coatbridge campus to take this Unit, as it has replaced the former Unit, Research Skills which you no longer take on your course.

So, what did you think about the first session, did you feel I explained things clearly, was the pace of learning appropriate and how are you feeling about things? All comments welcome below, thank you in advance.

All the best,

Mark

      Thank you, nice feedback right there. Who says learning can’t be fun? Not me, it should be! I look forward to next week where we’ll start looking at the meeting assessment, paperwork needed and so on. Thanks for taking time out to comment. All the best, Mark

    Thanks Mark. Great enthusiasm and it is clear time management is very important! I felt reassured with your words and encouragement and you know your subject, clearly. See you next week.

    Hello and for sure, time management is key and it won’t be the last time you’ll hear me beat that particular drum! Thanks for your kind words, and we’ll work through the teaching, learning and assessment together for this unit. Lots of interesting things to learn, discuss and research lie ahead, as per my weekly schedules. See you next week, either on Tuesday or Wednesday. All the best, Mark
