"So far I am enjoying it immensely. I have noticed that at MQ there is a strong emphasis on the use of technology whilst teaching. I haven't experienced that previously whilst studying my Bachelor's degree at UNSW. I think it's fantastic to use more than just print media for teaching purposes. Furthermore, the lecturers seem very engaged and motivated in the area they are teaching in which makes me so much more engaged and interested as a student."
