National Student Survey – for Finalists

Writing about web page http://www.thestudentsurvey.com/

Had an important message from the CAPITAL Centre:

As you may know the National Student Survey is doing the rounds.

Let me be clear, both the Government and the University take this survey VERY seriously. By filling it out you are lending your voice to something which carries a lot of influence with the powers that be. This survey is a way to make things happen.

If you've experienced and enjoyed CAPITAL's approach to teaching and learning then this is a hugely important platform to make those feelings heard - not to mention any other issues you've encountered whilst being a student.

If you want to take ownership of your Higher Education experience, then filling out this survey is vital. Whether you're a 1st year with years at Warwick ahead of you, or a 3rd year hoping to influence HE positively before you leave - this is one of the most effective weapons you have.

Here's the link.

Have a good weekend,
thank you

the CAPITAL team

It's always easier to criticise when you're annoyed with something, but when the opportunity comes up to say good things, it's important to speak out.

My own experience of working in the CAPITAL Centre, with the support of Open Space Learning development and a generally wonderful atmosphere, is that it's not only changed the way teaching and learning happens, but strengthened the student-staff community and allowed a tremendous amount of student-led activities to take place. I don't think there'd be an Ugly Cousins Club without the Writers' Room, nor exciting opportunities like the resident theatre ensemble, Fail Better, without CAPITAL as a whole.

So if you have a moment to support CAPITAL by saying what you think of the centre, please do mention them in the survey. Of course, if you've criticisms (really?! is that possible of CAPITAL?) then it's an opportunity too.
