The reasons behind my application for the Certificate of Higher Education: Natural History Studies
The more I learn about plants, flowers, animals, insects and ecology, the more I am shocked at how much we humans have destroyed the ecosystem and environment. I wish I can contribute a very small part to change this sad fact by spreading my illustrations as well as Botanical knowledge to the world. And the only way that I can do it is through learning.
Being a Vietnamese person living in Europe (Switzerland), I started to grow interest in Botanical Illustration just very recently. This is a brand new profession that does not exist in Vietnam yet, in any formal academic training programme as far as I know. Therefore in near future, if possible, I would like to create a place for Vietnamese Botanical artists and Botanists to meet up, learn and discuss to profit the Vietnamese ecosystem and help people understand more about the importance of plants, flowers, animals, insects and what each and everyone of us can do to make our Earth greener.
We value all feedback provided to us by our students.
Students have a comprehensive view of how their tutors educate and motivate and because of this, we ask our students to complete short evaluation surveys at the mid-point and end of each course.
Collecting student feedback is essential as it provides us with valuable insights into our teaching methods and classroom dynamics. It also allows us to make real-time adjustments and necessary improvements to our teaching – thus making the learning experience more effective and engaging.
We genuinely care about our students’ points of view. Their opinions hold value and can directly influence the teaching process by highlighting what works well and identifying areas for potential enhancement.
Our feedback system also enhances student engagement and often results in increased participation and a more profound commitment to learning, ultimately contributing to a more enriched educational experience.
