Assessment

My experience of Stevenson College has been a very good one. When I started this course I thought I was confident, but it became apparent that academically I was not. At some points I even thought that maybe I wouldn’t be able to cope with the course, and I thought that I had illusions of grandeur to think that I would ever be able to get to university. However, here I am 9 months later, motivated and desperate to get into University. I have a thirst for knowledge and the confidence in myself to pursue a master’s degree. I first applied for the BA in Religious Studies, however, since then I have changed my mind and I changed the course to the MA Religious Studies, as I feel it is something I can accomplish.

All of the lecturers have been great. They have been very supportive and caring. Alicia has been especially good for me as, to be honest, I have always hated Languages and she has made learning Spanish bearable and even enjoyable. Her teaching style is very good, as she makes you feel relaxed and she always concentrates on the positive points.

I don’t know how the course could improve. I thought the course has been fantastic in comparison to the college I went to when I was eighteen. The college I went to then had literally no facilities and we spent the year in a hut! I was so excited when I seen the fancy computerised boards used in the rooms. However, in saying that, too much technology can be a bad thing as, especially in History this tended to interfere with class work as sometimes the computer didn’t work properly. Moreover, when this happened and we wanted to watch a documentary we would have to get the TV and the videos or DVD’s were not always up to par, which was a hindrance.

I think my performance throughout the year has been quite good. I have handed in my work in time and I have completed it to the best of my ability. I could have done far better in Spanish, and I would have learned more if I stuck to my targets on my blog more thoroughly. Planning study time is imperative and evaluating how much you have learned is also, this may have been too little too late. However, the positive side to this is that I now know how important it is, and I will endeavour to do this when I start university.

Throughout the course I have learned that I am capable of going to University and completing the course. With more commitment and more motivation I feel that I could have done a lot better in the course and I am not going to fall into the trap of being idle at times again. I have also learned that I d get along with most people and that education is really important. Not only because you may gets a better job, but because it teaches you good life skills, and it is a great experience ansd it makes you a more well rounded person. I can’t wait until I am at the University of Edinburgh!

  1. It is a good feeling when you can see clearly what has happened to you and how. I find it most stimulating to read your evaluation and see how strongly you concentrated on the "process" and the changes it generated in you. That is real learning Kimberly.
