9. DISSATISFACTION
One or two of your classmates think that there is too much reading for an assignment and that they are spending too much time keeping up with the requirements for this one assignment.
A student says that they haven’t received feedback from an assignment.
Students are complaining that a lecturer won’t provide them with any notes or slides
You have been approached by one of your classmates with a personal non-academic issue (e.g. mental health, a welfare issue, money worries) or about an academic appeal.
These are examples of people coming to you with areas of dissatisfaction.
But now think of an area in your school YOU would like to proactively improve

Work with a buddy to:
Review your first steps – are they the right ones?
Think about what challenges you might face
Suggest ways to overcome those challenges
Think about what resources you might need (cost, materials, time)
Think about who the key people are in implementing your plan.
The aim is for you leave the session with a plan you can begin to put in to place in the next few weeks.
It's better to suggest solutions rather than describe problems.
