6.1 Introduction

This section of the report details student teacher responses to questions about their expectations and experiences of the HDE programme. Again the data has been collected through the entry questionnaire and interviews with a select group of students at the end of the year. The data is supplemented by the exit questionnaire. However, this data needs to be treated with caution, as only 48 students completed the exit questionnaire and in a number of cases they did not reply to all the questions.
