Testimonials
Synthetic Anatomy through the eyes of students
Creative exploration
Creative freedom
“Encouraged us to think creatively, and think about the details that we don’t normally think about”
“Nice change from the usual heavily science-related modules as it allowed us to think more creatively rather than logically”
“Some of the things brought up by the artists and students I had never thought about. I thought the table is just going to be there from one view. I’d never thought about what if people move around, what if people want to touch it, or what if you want to do lots of things with it? I thought it was very useful”
Interactive teaching
“Very hands-on experience”
“Interactive teaching allows you to recall things better”
“TAs were very helpful during the 3D printing sessions responding to student queries with great expertise and consideration”
Reflective learning
“Emphasis on the journey rather than the final product”
“Puts a positive spin on failure so you come to the next meeting with growth and ideas to improve”
Experiential learning
Transferable skills
“A great way to explore a different side to this degree and the fields I wish to work in”
“An amazing and unique opportunity to learn how to 3D print, as I would not have had the opportunity any other way”
“If we go on to make medical devices and other products, design will be a big part of it and (this module) really helped (me) understand that”
Interdisciplinary collaboration
Interdisciplinary group work
“It was interesting to work with a group that was suddenly put together… a lot of different perspectives and skillsets and personalities on the table… we learnt a lot from each other especially from students doing a purely science degree”
Teamwork and communication
“In terms of projects we can come up with a lot of things as a group rather than just as individuals … I don’t think I could have made our table display on my own”
“I quite liked the fact that you could share it with your group, so if someone else wanted to add onto it, it was useful”
“Being the general classroom allowed me to meet new people and make friends, something I needed after coronavirus lockdowns restricting social activity”
