What are the views of marketing students?
Students generally feel that their marketing course is well-supported, with encouraging, interactive, and easy-to-contact staff. They appreciate the variety of module choices available, which cater to different areas of interest. The course's focus on applied learning is also valued, as it enables students to develop skills and knowledge that can be used in real-world scenarios.
However, some students express frustration with the weightage of grades, feeling that it is unfair and can demotivate them. There are also concerns about inconsistencies in teaching and marking, mainly when different lecturers teach and mark the same material. Some students feel that their work is not being adequately supported by tutors, leading to delays in receiving feedback.
Time management is another issue, with some students finding it difficult to balance coursework with other commitments. The timetabling schedule can be too packed, leaving little time for independent learning or personal activities. Despite this, many students appreciate the university's efforts to adapt to changing circumstances and value the opportunities provided for career development and networking.
Some students have experienced unprofessionalism in specific modules, negatively impacting their learning experience. Others feel they are not adequately prepared for assessments, with some receiving low grades due to factors outside of their control. The lack of clear communication about course changes and graduation dates is also frustrating for some students.
Overall, while many students appreciate the support and opportunities provided by their marketing course, there are areas where improvements can be made to enhance their learning experience.
