Concluding Remarks

23

Is there anything in particular which you would like to see introduced by the Faculty or S-Cubed which would be beneficial to your studies?

When asked for what the students hope would be introduced next year, they responded with;

● More awareness regarding available jobs and career paths once a degree is obtained, ● More awareness regarding the availability of counselling sessions and the importance of safeguarding mental health while reading for a challenging undergraduate degree. ● Forums for questions and suggestions, ● A 24-hour study area, perhaps within the faculty, ● More integration between the departments, ● Availability of past paper solutions, ● Light-hearted events between lecturer and student to increase rapport, ● Recording of lectures even when physical lectures are reintroduced, ● Lowering of the pass mark according to averages (Grading on a curve, especially for units with an average mark lower than the pass mark) ● Study units or electives which do not necessarily have to directly correspond with course material. These study units would hopefully serve to keep students interested in different sciences, introduce students to other students in different departments, and would help in creating more well-rounded scientists. Such study units suggested were;

● An Introductory course to software like LaTeX for maths students ● Ethics in Science ● History of Science (or of the respective study area taken by the student) ● Science Communication ● Philosophy of Science
