Read morePositives: The positive aspects of my course are the practical components. A lot of my classes, like drama, Health and PE and Maths are very hands on and practical. It makes coming to class fun, it isn't just listen to the tutor and lecture and take notes. We run our own health and PE and music lessons that allow us to practically understand how to put what we learn into practice in the classroom environment.
Negatives: The negative aspect I would say is the length of our pracs, which are 10 weeks long, as we can't work during that period unless we have weekend jobs.
My advice to future students is: I would say do it. Do the birth to 12 course, because its 4 years to do just a primary teaching course and 4 years for birth to 12, may as well get both qualifications. It's a fun unit, and Notre Dame is so good because the tutors remember our names not just our numbers.
