Students frequently make favourable comments about the features they appreciated in my courses:

• This was one of the most practical and interesting courses across my degree. I wanted to say thank you for your engaging teaching and content. I ope to apply what you have taught in a policy career.
• The practical work experience that was drawn upon while teaching this course. I enjoyed the rational perspective and how multiple sides of the coin for contemporary issues were explored.
• I loved how organised the course structure and outline was. All the resources were available for us, along with ample guidelines to doing well in the essay and understanding content. I enjoyed Prue's lectures, and made an effort to come into uni to be present in the lectures.
• The lecture slides are fantastic and full of relevant resources for further study. Also, I must add that what I have learnt in this course has already helped me immensely with my other courses, and I think there should be more subjects relating to understanding social science/political research critically.
• Great coordinator. Always replied quickly to emails. Was extremely helpful and one of the best I've had.
