If we have any questions, he is always happy to help us find the answer, he will make you think, not do your work for you.

Keeps on top of the things, makes sure to inform and remind us about the events that may be of any use for us.

Lecturer in Management "Wyn takes the time to explain things to you and he makes learning interesting. He never makes you feel belittled when you need to ask questions, no matter how obvious the answer, and he is always there if you need extra support. He takes a genuine interest in his students and he has provided me with support, not only academically, but in giving me the confidence and back up to go for what I want after university. He is always interested in helping his students and will always make time if you need help. He treats you as an adult but is always available as a greater mentor and confidence booster." |

Personal Chair, Professor in International Business "Nick puts 110% of his energy into ensuring his students are fully comfortable with each topic covered in the curriculum. He ensures his lectures are as entertaining as can be for the topics covered (sometimes Economic's isn't the worlds most exciting field...) and really encourages student engagement. When visiting him for assignment feedback or revision support he brings out all of his textbooks to explain one term or theory, and makes sure you leave the room with a flawless understanding of all possible applications, otherwise you're not allowed to leave. He offers incredible feedback on assignments and not only critiques where you could have gained extra marks, he also sings so many praises even if the mark isn't as high as you want. He goes out of his way to ensure every student of his is confident in the field.” |

Lecturer in Economics "Kyriaki has helped me to overcome the barriers that mature students may come across, such as integrating with younger students. She has also provided a shoulder to cry on with personal issues that I was experiencing at the time, and has also encouraged me to realise my potential as a student by praising my assignment and examination results, and is also helping me to discover more about Erasmus and International Exchange opportunities. It's great to know that I always have her to talk to whenever I need!." "Since I arrived in Aberystwyth she has been the main point of reference, being helpful with every problem I had but also at the lectures, she is an amazing lecturer. I really would like to be like her at some point in my life." |

Senior Lecturer in Accounting "Megan is a lecturer who genuinely wants the best for the students, whether that is academically or personally. In my final year, the best piece of advice Megan gave me was to not worry and stress with getting a job following graduation as we have the rest of our life to work, we have to enjoy and make the most of our life as we wish. Through her lectures in first semester for Analysis and Application, Megan ensured we were all prepped for the 'real world' and we could all speak confidently to an audience. Megan will give students a nudge if they are slacking to ensure they achieve their best instead of letting somebody only regret it later. Megan also applies plenty of real life situations to our examples in lectures to develop our knowledge even further." "No matter what module she taught us, she shared her experience in the professional in a way that gave us the perspective why things that we study are important and how are they actually used. She is thorough with her materials, regularly puts up Panopto recordings that are always great quality." |
