  • Online Module Evaluation Questionnaire

    Your feedback on the teaching, learning and assessment that you have experienced during taught modules is very important for us, and can be completed at http://sits.surrey.ac.uk/. 

    Your feedback will be used to further fine-tune the learning and teaching experience of the module(s) and can be used as evidence of good-practice for academic staff. 

    Please note that we will treat all your results confidentially! Your response will not influence your grades in any way and your feedback is completely anonymous (even though you have to log in, which is to ensure that each student can only evaluate a module once).

  • Guildford Gyratory Consultation Exhibition

    Staff and students may be interested to learn that Surrey County Council is developing proposals to improve the functionality of the Guildford gyratory, with a view to submitting a bid for construction from 2015-16.

    A public exhibition about the proposals is being held this week and the Council would like to hear the views and ideas of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians who use the gyratory & underpass  as part of their commute to the University.

    From today until Saturday 18 May, three exhibitions will be held at various locations in the town centre where consultation material including a public questionnaire will be available to view.

    You can find further details on the Surrey County Council website.

  • Introduction to Qualitative Interviewing

    22 May 2013

    This course provides an introduction to the theory and practice of qualitative interviewing in both academic and applied social research, including the evaluation of services. The course is primarily designed for researchers with little or no experience of qualitative interviewing. It will also be useful for more experienced researchers who have had little formal training or who wish to reflect on their practice. 

     

    The day combines sessions exploring the nature of a qualitative approach, the interview process and the use of qualitative interviews in evaluation with practical exercises on the interview as interaction, developing an interview guide and conducting interviews. We will explore a variety of ethical issues as these arise in discussion. 

     

    (Please note: the analysis of qualitative data is not covered in this course.)
