A. Quality of student work, pace and content, appropriateness of teaching methods and action(s) taken to resolve
any problems
Student performance is in line with previous years, though I am pleased to see that more than half of the class achieved
either a 2i or 1st. The quality of work was higher this year than in 2012-2013. No significant problems were experienced
during the teaching of this course.
B. Any Learning Resources problems which have affected the provision of the Module (quality of lecture or tutorial
rooms, laboratory or IT facilities and action taken or planned
No, though the capacity of the Grant Museum teaching space places an upper limit on student numbers (~44), which I
predict will cause problems as class sizes grow in the future.
C. Issues identified by students (from questionnaires, staff-student committees etc.) and action taken or planned
D. Issues identified by External Examiners and action taken or planned
E. Chair of Teaching Committee’s Comments and Action Taken or Planned (Where applicable. Where no comment
is required, please see the overall departmental report)
