Recent Student Feedback

• "A great deal of information, very well instructed."
  
• "Handouts provided easy to follow key points and text book examples, screen shots etc, allowing time to discuss the issues and note the outcome."
  
• "Very well structured, with frequent recapping which re-inforced the information several times each period."
  
• "Whilst databases did not strike me as a subject to look forward to, I did look forward to every session."
  
• "Precise references in the text allowed swift background reading."
  
• "Although pushed for time to cover everything, the practical sessions did just enough to demonstrate the principles that were required."
  
• "Practical sessions resulted in a sheet of answers that were marked and returned at the start of the next lecture, enabling questions to be asked whilst the subject was still fresh."
  
• "An excellent module."
