Feedback on the App
Some comments:
“The written comments were comprehensive. There are a large
number of comments to choose from” [academic]
“Well I think as an international student especially for student whose
first language is not English we find face to face much harder because
there’s language barrier so you might not clearly understand what
actually the lecturer is talking about. Instead using the written form for
feedback helps you will understand more clearly” [student]
“Let’s put it this way it’s far better than anything else I’ve received
during my time here” [student]

presentation
