The best things about Primary Education:

"The people I met. The R.E. staff and the Educational Studies/Philosophy staff."

"Most of the tutorial classes are great fun and very practical. I also enjoy the mix of academic work in university and opportunities to put what you have learned into practice in placement."

"The course is very hands on and practical being mainly made up of placements and university workshops. The tutors always try to make the subjects seem interesting and exciting."

The worst things about Primary Education:

"The Education courses can seem overly academic and unrelated to learning in other subjects. However towards the end of 3rd year it began to come together in my head and become clear why we had learned what we had. There can also sometimes be a little too much group work."

"I personally do not enjoy the education course, there is very little practical and a lot of theory. I find it very difficult to understand but am aware that this is just due to the nature of this particular course."

"Pretty much everything - the timetable is horrific, most of the staff are pompous and unhelpful, placements are a complete and utter joke with little support or structure and unmanagable workload and the course has extremely poor organisation. There seems to be no sense to 80% of the stuff that you do on this course - definitely quanitity over quality."
