Part 3 Tutor Comments:

Class Performance It has been a great five weeks. The students have been fantastic and their work excellent. Only one student Alex Zhang is struggling and that too because he was a week late back to school in the new term. The action plan for him is to have regular one on ones with him to help him cope. Other comments I have introduced some aspects of eLearning in my course.The students have enjoyed this as it gives them more flexibility. I am alos able to gove them feedback out of calss through their wiki page. All the resources have been uploaded onto the wiki. Some of the comment received: Technology was key to the first half of the semester with PB works allowing constant communication with Shyamini even outside class time. She was able to guide me through the process and advise me where I went wrong. This term has been really great. It has been my favourite and enjoyed the different activities and it has definitely helped improve my business knowledge. I love the part that the tutor is using the PB works platform instead of printing lots of paper.
