My weekly update

Hi Guys,

Hope you are all well on this bitterly cold day. I am not a fan of this cold weather. I think in these times im happy to be working and studying from home.

Last week i attending course Rep training which i really enjoyed putting some faces to names. It was nice hearing from reps on some issues that have been raised from students, and how we can move forward with some feedback, with some adjustments put into place. I know a lot of students are worried for results this week as am i. I think in these times and the different environments we are learning in is putting a greater strain on us all. I had received a number of feedbacks in regards to placements, timetables, screentime and overall issues with online learning. All of these issues are being dealt with and students will be informed of all outcomes. Please remember i am here to help and support you all in anyway i can. Like i have said previously even if its just for a chat to overload to someone i can be the ears to help.

While we are now underway into Semester 2 hopefully we are all settling back into routines and trying to  balance home life and student life. This is something we are all in together and i see us all as a team. We can support and help each other and look back at this time as a huge achievement! As we all know, no other students previously have been in this situation and we can come out the other end smiling.

Please feel free to contact me at Melissa.Thomas@wlv.ac.uk if you have any feedback whether postive or negative. Take care and be safe.
