Institution lesson feedback

• Lovely opening clip - grabs attention of audience.
• Good starter question follows clip and is important
• presentation covers excellent background/historical info. A bit too much reading from Power point but the content is very good
• Space on the handout to fill details in is a great idea and forces class to engage with the material. However, this could have been made clearer when handouts were being given out
• importance of institution emphasized using statistics which is good to see
• Sky news is a good point, could have been given more info here ( hosted one of 2010 election debates)
• Needed a plenary to test what people had learned - even a referral back to hand out could have helped here.

WWW:  Some of the info in the power point had references to the opening clip we showed

               The class were engaged as they had to fill in details in the sheet 

               Had a lot of good information

EBI:       Needed a plenary

               More crucial information needed

               Read less from the powerpoint
