i agree with the barriers from the last course we were on, it was like the class was split into different sections. this course feels like its making us more productive.we can excahnge feedback from anyone. it allows us to become more sociable with our collegues.

I really hope that Steve implements this 3rd year idea, it would be beneficial to all the students.. I was originally thinking of leaving after the first year to go elsewhere before this came up, just so that settle into the group alot more.. than having come in late in the course, since some courses are the 3 years and being abit of an outsider, which of course would be detrimental to the quality of work produced.

If decided not to now, hoping this will come into play and if not a top up year somewhere will be sufficient enough for what I want to do. I also value to teaching here, I think Steve/John really know what they're talking about and their invaulable advice has sunk in heavily.

I'm glad at the range of modules been put into play already and can't wait to further explore the design side.

A third year would also be a major advantage for us in terms of the experience that will be gained.

I also agree that I would only be interested in doing it if it run by Steve and John as I feel that they would really push us to take every opportunity and gain as much experience within the year compared to the possibility more relaxed attitude at another college/university.

I agree with you about the interaction between everyone on the course being really encouraging. Hopefully it can continue throughout the course.

Also, when reading this post, I’m glad to see your enthusiasm for the course, which I think many of us share at the moment.

It seems like you have really enjoyed the work that we have been doing in the first term. It really shows that you have really thought about where you want to go after the course as finished.

I think the high level of challenge the course has presented has been felt by everyone due the diverse range of skills we are being taught.

Our varied backgrounds illustrate the demands the course presents, and no single person is comfortable with every task we have been presented with.

If the course presented no challenge then there would be no point in doing it. Equally the more challenging it is the more we must be growing.

The communication I’ve experienced in our class is a first for me, on courses in the past I’ve always made friends but never had a whole group communicate with one another. I think in a way this encourages us more, as we’re all friendly with one another and therefore comfortable in the environment at college.

I am certainly considering the top up year for this course, scott is even considering coming back with me (my boyfriend). If the third year is as good as the two year HND then it will certainly be worth an extra year of hard work ready for employment!

I am of the same opinion – that thanks to the way Steve he has structured the course, he has encouraged communication, something I for one would be lost without.
