00:00My course is quite content heavy and like we have a lot of hours so I do generally feel like I get
00:05my money's worth out of it but I have noticed that a lot of my friends on courses with less
00:10contact hours, fewer contact hours, feel very frustrated that they're paying a lot of money
00:16and they're going into a lot of debt and they're not getting much teaching time. Particularly after
00:20Covid now a lot of it is virtual. It was quite expensive at first but looking back at the journey
00:25I actually see myself like developing a lot and like more employable and I think that's a
00:30brilliant option like a brilliant investment for later on but I understand the fees are going
00:34higher and people are worried but I suppose it will be worth it at the end. I'm just doing my
00:39postgraduate degree now in teaching and I honestly so far this degree is definitely worth the money
00:44but my undergraduate I don't think it was. The amount of strikes that we had, the amount of like
00:49contact hours were not, they weren't very high. Increasing the tuition for pre-recorded lectures.
00:55I think we'll face some difficulties and some students will be upset by that.
