Sheffield Law Students

Student Observation of Teaching is an opportunity for students to collaborate with academics to develop their teaching. The student observer acts as a “critical friend” to the academic, offering feedback on their practice, and a fresh perspective on how they work with students.  This might be done by observing some of their teaching yourself; leading a focus group of students; talking with them about questions, challenges, or ideas they have in their teaching; or a combination of all of these.  Full training and support will be given.  Students have consistently said they enjoyed it, found it interesting, felt it developed their relationship with academic staff, and offered them benefits in terms of thinking about their own learning habits.  As one previous participant put it, they realised that “Teachers learn too; through communications with students, we can help each other to improve their teaching and our learning”.
