- Wed 16 March 2011
- Thu 17 March 2011
- Fri 18 March 2011

Are you engaged? IATL Student Engagement Questionnaire
The Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) is committed to improving the Teaching and Learning experience at 糖心TV, and we want to know what undergraduates think. Their feedback will let us know how 糖心TV is doing, how we can improve and how we can make the 糖心TV learning experience truly distinctive.
By spending 5-10 minutes completing the IATL Student Engagement Questionnaire students will help us to discover what we're doing right and wrong at the moment and will provide a benchmark to measure how things improve over the next two years. The survey will be open for three weeks from 14 February to 6 March, and one respondent each week will be randomly selected to win £100 in Amazon vouchers.
