Student Comments

Postgraduate student comments

• I liked the PASS study atmosphere-people could sit together in groups discussing the questions they didn't understand and we learnt from each other.
• I liked the opportunity to go over practice questions.
• PASS motivated us to think for ourselves.
• Everyone contributes their own ideas in PASS and then people can see problems from different perspectives which we might not have thought of before. I gained knowledge from other students and learnt from the experience of the facilitator.
• "Peer learning" is quite useful for the course and gives us the opportunity to know new friends-PASS was very interesting.

Undergraduate Student Comments

• I liked the people in PASS-some of whom were so helpful, others, a pleasure to talk to and most, a motivating force to learning.
• PASS provided us an opportunity to ask any questions that we didn't understand from lectures. We were able to go through questions for practice.
• The community feel was integral to making PASS a successful and participative learning program for me.
• My PASS facilitator was really enthusiastic and really helped us understand the concepts.
• PASS was a relaxed but still simulating learning environment
• The extra practice in PASS was really helpful when it came to exam time.
• PASS was a lot of fun and great revision for what had been learnt in the week before; the PASS facilitators were a lot of fun too and made the subjects more interesting; overall it was really enjoyable, and you make a lot of friends as well.
