The Student Experience Coaches
The Student Experience Coaching Team offers coaching to help you to manage and plan for any resits that you might have this summer. We are available for sessions either online or face to face.
One of our coaches shared their experience of coaching a Level 5 student who’s, goal was to achieve 55 – 60% in their assignment:
“During the coaching session, I opened the space for honest and true reflection. It became apparent that the student had extensive work experience in the field and therefore thought they should be able to complete the assignment easily.
They reflected that they hadn’t given the assignment the time that was required. They also hadn’t sought any support or help after the first referral. This was the huge turning point because it was the first time they had admitted to themselves what was standing in their way.
We explored what they wanted to be different this time, what it would take for this to happen and who they would need to be (in terms of action and attitude). The student had recently had success retaking another module, so we also homed in on what had worked then.
This came down to giving enough time to the assignment, seeking support from the Module Leader, acting on feedback and understanding the assignment brief. I also linked them with library resources to strengthen their academic writing skills. They left the session with an action plan to follow these steps.
Following the meeting, I was informed that the student did achieve their goal, passing with a mark in the high 50s.”
