Hi all.

Further to the recent mid-module feedback process, here are my comments on your comments

Good things about the module

“The majority said good availability of work” – I’m not quite sure what this means – but assuming you mean that you can work from home, in the uni, etc, i.e. that NoobLab supports flexible working patterns, I am pleased to hear that this is having a positive effect.

“Good workshop support” and “Absorbing/interesting lectures” – I’m very glad to hear it; we try our best

Three things that would improve the module

“Undo button in NoobLab” – You can do Control-Z to undo, although only up to the point where you last clicked Run. It would be technically difficult to persist the undo history beyond the last Run, though. I’ll see what I can do when I’m next in the NoobLab code.

“More revision of content” – We do have Codebashes every EAW which are intended for this sort of purpose. If you could give some suggestions as to what other forms of revision would help, I’d appreciate it. All lectures are videoed, everything I ever present is online and NoobLab is available 24/7 – if you want to do revision then have at it! If there’s more I can do, I’m happy to do it, I’m just not sure what more there is!

“Covering lecturers need to have a better understanding of lecture structure, e.g. Orange slides.” – On the rare occasions that someone has to cover, you do need to bear in mind that they may be doing so at very short notice (e.g. due to illness.) So, do try to be a little understanding that they may be coming in blind and that they are doing the best they can. Give them your best, don’t heckle, and remember that every lecturer has their own indomitable style.
