The courses offered for my majors (English & Film, Media, and Television) were taught clearly, in a supportive manner, and the course material and requirements of each course allowed for a true understanding of the course. While some classes require group work (which I am, personally, not a fan of when it comes to academics), the majority of work required was individual work. The faculty I encountered in the English/Film, Media, and Television programmes were all very helpful, willing to answer questions, and open to circumstances that may affect your academic performance.

While the workload was never impossible, it challenged me and allowed me to grow in my writing career. I was pushed to my limits, resulting in a high-quality output that I thought I would never be able to achieve. The lesson structures suited my learning style, but I appreciated that they catered to alternative learning styles when needed. This approach to teaching and learning aided me in unexpected areas, such as collaboration and team building.
Feedback that I would offer the university to provide more quiet spaces for study. While we were offered a library, it was often uncomfortable, which is undesirable if you stay there for extended periods.
