Please use this space for any additional constructive comments in respect of the lectures:

The material was all the times in the web.  I advise Dr Jim Briggs to also include some valuable books as the internet is not always accessible.

 

 

Finally, please answer these last two points that sum up the unit:

25.   

What feature of the unit as presented by the lecturer did you most enjoy or find rewarding?

The cryptographic topic by the lecturer was most rewarding to me.  It was news for me.  The lecturer was very explicit and informative about the subject.

Open discussion.

NHS privacy and confidentiality issues.

Cryptography

26.   

To improve students' learning, what feature(s) should the lecturer consider changing for the next cohort?

The lecturer should also give some names of some valuable books.

Check access to web site.  Book recommendations.

If it is to be healthcare related it would be good to have input from other healthcare organisations.

Book lists and web references are continually updated.

We have in previous years invited outside speakers to contribute to the course, but this is often difficult to arrange within timetabling constraints.

 

Thank you for completing this questionnaire. Please return it directly to the unit lecturer.
