REF: 66-2404-4895329 - Improvements to GS11320

Your comment: GS11320: Individual courses would benefit from a separation in the content each day of the field trip. I understand that the Environmental aspect of the trip covers both Environmental Science and Environmental Earth science. But much of the content doesn't transfer both ways and there was a large amount of disinterest to aspects which don't apply to their respective course.

Our response:

Thank you for your feedback on the Year 1 Environmental Earth Science and Environmental Science fieldwork. This is the first year we have run a combined residential field trip following several years of adapted activities through the pandemic. The teaching team have already reflected on the content following the trip and are planning to adjust the programme for next year to include more specific themes for each degree scheme. Whilst some themes are appropriate for both courses and these will continue to be integrated, future trips will include different themes taught at a common location, or the group will be divided for some activities.
