'We would like to request more small group teaching as we feel that it enables far greater engagement with the topics and critical analysis that is just not possible from reading and lectures by themselves. We are missing out on opportunities to really explore topics in depth and bounce ideas off other people, whilst analysing and refining our own ideas in response to critiques and ideas from others. It is reducing the potential for a much higher level of engagement and interpretation of the kind that can only be achieved through thorough discussion and debate - guided by a knowledgable academic who can support and facilitate critique and analysis that would not be possible by ourselves. We feel strongly about this issue, and thank you for considering it'.

Many thanks

Getting a bit sick of paying so much tuition just to sit in a giant lecture hall and not speak a word for 3 years. We need actual interaction.

Honestly geography is way better when you can actually debate the theories instead of just listening to someone drone on for an hour. Definitely need more small groups.
