This was absolutely brilliant! I'm so glad even though it's online a lot of fun can still be had.

These sessions have been really helpful when trying to settle into uni life and the new technology that was going to be used

Loved the interactive sections - they helped me to learn and gain confidence.

It's been more than 8 years since I last sat in the classroom, so these sessions will definitely help me with my academic skills and easy writing which am nervous about at the moment. So thanks for such help.

Loved all the interactive bits of the session and the relaxed feel of the people presenting - felt more engaged as a result.

Really helped to learn to use the Portal and to be able to get advice as a mature student.
