Course Organisation:
The course is well organised as all aspects of the A2 course that we need to know and cover all work that is important and essential to us.

How interesting is the content that is covered?
I think the contents being covered are interseting and are enjoyable to learn.

How useful are the handouts?
I think the handouts are very useful as when I get stuck they come in handy all the time and are very essential for our independent study. They are very useful as they just state the important information that we need to know and gain a good and thorough understanding of.

Have the lessons been well-paced?
I think the lessons are well paced as we get to learn all the work that is planned for that lesson in the time duration that we have.

What is the standard of the teachers’ presentation/subject knowledge?
Both media teachers have a great and thorough understanding of Media and teach and present the work to an excellent standard. They explain the work well and are a great help.

How well has the course met your expectations?
The course has met my expectations well and is very ineresting and enjoyable and it is everything that I expected the course to be.

Have the extra-curricular events been useful? (eg. Awards Eve.)
The events that we have in Media such as the Media awards are very useful to all students as it shows them how rewarding and enjoyable the subject is. Particular events such as practical productions and media awards keep the students motivated in media and encourage outher students to take up the course whether in GCSE's or A-Levels.

Has the Macguffin Blog been useful?
The Media Macguffin blog has been very useful as there are a lot of links and posts that are very helpful for media students and allows students to know what they need to do next and what homework was set if they had missed any lessons. Also it gives a lot of useful information and help from other and past students blogs that present students may find useful for their own work.

How well is the course organised?
1: the course is very well organised, through the point of how we will be doing representation of females simultaneously to med 5, as most of us are doing females representations

How interesting is the content that is covered?
1/2: last year content was very good, but this year is very hard, it is good with the theorists we are learning at present, but the time we are going through each other’s presentations and blogs is taking forever.

How useful are the handouts?
1: The handouts are very useful and so were the ones in the past.

Have the lessons been well-paced?
3: some lessons seem that they have been structure on the spot.

What is the standard of the teachers’ presentation/subject knowledge? 1:
All teachers contain a very wide range of knowledge of the subject, this helps allot as they can help many students doing different topic of their med 5

How well has the course met your expectations?
3: I do expect more work to be set for the independent study, as retaking it is very crucial students are told to do their work.

Have the extra-curricular events been useful? (eg. Awards Eve.)
1: Yes, as it has reminded us and topped up our synoptic abilities.

Has the Macguffin Blog been useful?
1: Yes, very, as the blog helps us do our independent studies’ and we can look at other links from the Macguffin blog to relate to our study.

Course Evaluation:

Is course organised well? (1)

I believe that the course is organised very well, as we we cover topics that are needed for the exam.

How interesting is the content that is covered? (2)

So far what we have been learning is interesting, eventhough we wasted a bit too much with all the presentations.

How useful are the handouts? (3)

The handouts are very useful, however there are too many and I loose random papers.

Have the lessons been well-Paced?
(1)

The lessons have been going at a good pace, but most of the lessons last term were eaten up by the presentations, however those were essential to us.

What is the standard of the teachers’ presentation/subject knowledge? (1)

Mr Bush and Ms Holiday know what they talking about so their knowledge of media is excellent the presentation is good aswell.

How well has the course met your expectations? (1)

The course has met everything I thought it would, it is pretty hard but still I like a challenge, so at the moment it is nothing I can not do.


Have the extra-curricular events been useful? (eg. Awards Eve.)(1)

I thought the media awards evening was brilliant was enjoyable and funny (karan taking a drop!) and it was good to see everyone made an effort to dress up and look good.


Has the Macguffin Blog been useful? (2)

The MacGuffin website has been useful as it is easier to do work as you just need to check the website and post it up really.

WWW:
. Media awards evening
. The organisation of the course
. Good teachers

EBI:
. Not just doing paper work, do more active lessons.
. The presentations were taking long but we gone through all of them.

-(1): The course is organised in a good way as everything is thought in cronological order and each previous topic links to the next.

-(1): The contents covered is very interesting as everything is relevant and makes clear sense to me.

-(3): The handouts are useful, but i feel that sometimes they can have to much information on them. I think that the work on the handouts should be cut down and bullet pointed so it makes it more easier for us to understand.

-(2): The lessons are paced well as we don't move on to the next topic without having everyone fully understanding what is going on in th lesson.

-(1): The class teacher has a good understanding of the topics and different modules. He/she can fully explain any question asked.

-(2): The course is as what I expected it to be, we do detailed analysis of trailers and study theories and theorists in detail. We link and touch upon the affects of media on society.

-(1): I think that these events have been very successful as they bring the whole media department together. It also allows each student to see the ability and skills that the other students have.

-(2): The media blog has been very successful and has helped me with my own blog. It has given me links to help me with my study and has allowed me to look at past students blogs that may also help me with my study.

course evalution
organisation-1
I feel that the course is very organised as the teachers break down the course into sections which is easier for us to revise from.

how interesting is the content covered-2
I think the content covered in the course is reletively good as i do enjoy the lesson. the teachers do break up the classroom activities with proactical work and good class discussions comes from it.

usefulness of the handouts-2
beleive the handouts are usefull as I look at them when revising an it is a good break down of the topic.

have the lessons been well paced-2
i beleive the lesson is paced well enogh as there is not a time were us as students is not doing no work due to finshing early.

The standard of the teachers presentation and subject knowledge-1
I beleive all the media teachers are good teachers and show alot of understanding to the subject as they feel passionate about the subject.This comes across in the lesson due to the interaction with the class.

How well has the course met my expections-2
even though there is work involved i love media as a subject as activities like the media awards gives the students a chance to show there work. Also for the students to be acknowledged for the hard work they put in.

usfullness of macguffin-2
This has been useful as it is easy to view in class what work you have done and easy for the teacher to post inprovements.

Course Evaluation

How well is the course organised?

1- The course is very well organised as lessons are always prepared with work and extra extension work in case students finish early. Also, by the course being split up with separate teachers makes it easier and clearer for students to understand what they are doing with whom.
How interesting is the content that is covered?

2- Aspects of the course is interesting however, there are few elements in which I feel are boring. These aspects are in med 4 when we look at institutions and the products or services they offer. On a whole though it is interesting looking/going to look at the representation on Asian women and slasher films.

How useful are the handouts?
3- The handouts I feel are very useful but the only problem I have with them is that some of them are very lengthy which makes some of the text inappropriate.

Have the lessons been well-paced?
1- The lessons have been well paced by having two separate teachers for two different modules. This makes it easier for us to understand what is required for each teacher/module.

What is the standard of the teachers’ presentation/subject knowledge?
1- I have been very impressed in the teacher’s subject knowledge as they do not have to refer to books or websites for a lesson; they know it all in their heads. The presentation is very well organised with the right equipment for every lesson.

How well has the course met your expectations?
2- The course has fairly met my expectations as I did not expect that I would be doing this much work. I did not think that I would get this much independence on my work.

Have the extra-curricular events been useful? (eg. Awards Eve.)
2-The extra-curricular events have worked well as it has been a tool of motivation. For example, the awards evening is an event which all students want to win and therefore are motivated to do well in.

Has the Macguffin Blog been useful?
1- The macguffin blog has been useful as it saves paper and printing time. Also it can edit to make it easier to mend corrections.

WWW- organisation of lessons, teaching skills from teachers and extra activites which have been offered.

EBI- Make lessons more fun and make deadlines longer or dont give us too much work for short periods of time.
