“The flexibility of Drop-in hours being available each weekday makes it really easy to use the support.” [2nd year Electronics and Computer Science student]
“I struggled with Java and the [Drop-In] support I got from the ICT learning center helped me a lot, it was a huge factor of my success in the module.“ [1st year Aeronautical student]
“The communication during the ICT sessions [Drop-In] was excellent, and the one-to-one format made it easier to ask questions and get help with specific issues, which greatly improved my understanding of concepts I previously found difficult to grasp.” [1st Computer Science student]
“Clear and helpful support for mid-terms/final exams, as some of the drop-in tutors would have done the same modules previously.” [2nd year Computer Systems student]
“Drop-In allows for specific questions and intense support” [1st year Mathematics Common entry student]
“The support I received during the drop-in hours was vital in helping me understand several concepts I struggled to understand previously. The fact this support is provided by fellow students helped make me more comfortable with asking questions I felt were too "stupid" to ask my own lecturers.” [4th year Computer Systems student]
“[I felt I got] Brilliant explanations that simplified confusing concepts” [1st year Financial Mathematics student]
“[Drop-In times were] really helpful and they could answer all my questions. I wish I knew about how good the supports were earlier in the semester” [1st year Engineering Common Entry student]
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude for offering the ICTLC – Python and ML Foundations course. As a Master student in Business Analytics with no prior computer science background, and someone who was learning programming from the very beginning, this course has been incredibly helpful and valuable to me. The course structure and teaching approach made complex concepts accessible and engaging, and it has greatly boosted my confidence in coding and machine learning fundamentals.” [MSc Business Analytics Student, 2025]
“The targeted sessions had very good content and instructors went at a pace where everyone could learn.” [1st year Immersive Software Engineering student]
“The Clarity and conciseness of the targeted sessions was great” [2nd year Electronics and Computer Engineering student]
“The [ICTLC/DLSH] supports ultimately enhanced my overall learning experience. The live sessions and burst videos reinforced my understanding of content covered in lectures and certainly improved my overall programming confidence.” [1st year Computer Science student]
“[In the Java Fundamentals course] They taught concepts I found difficult in a fun and accessible way. They always fostered a positive and judgement free learning environment. I am so immensely grateful for their support. Not only did they help me improve my programming skills, but they helped me grow my love for computer science.” [1st year Immersive Software Engineering student]
“The ability to ask peers [PSLG Leaders] who have undergone the problems you're facing now for advice was very helpful” [1st year Computer Science student]
“The small groups [PSLG] make it more comfortable to ask questions with everybody more or less at the same level.” [1st year Computer Science student]
“The short [DLSH] videos of important concepts helped me understand the topics easier” [1styear Computer Science student]
“The ICTLC [online] content was definitely useful, the videos were easy to use, and the Java support videos were very thorough.” [1st year Computer Science student]
“I learned a lot during these [PAR] labs” [1st year Electronics and Computer Engineering student]
