Manager’s Feedback
Hi Andrew, I must say that I am very impressed by the work you have done in preparing the six courses (to be delivered completely on-line). I have looked through them and found them to be excellent. (So much so that I started doing them! But had to stop myself from being too distracted). I particularly like the asynchronous nature of the courses. I think that we have as a project (Degree Apprenticeships New Zealand) developed a range of on-line learning options from completely self-sufficient courses like yours to partially on-line courses that require ongoing human interaction. So I am very pleased! Dr. James Mackay Pilot Manager Degree Apprenticeship Otago Polytechnic

Hi Andrew, For the first two years of the BEngTech delivery of MG5001 (Engineering Computing) was delivered by a tutor from the School of IT. The School of Engineering was not particularly happy with the delivery of the course as it lacked structure and Engineering focus. With you taking over delivery in 2012 I believe we have gained this and brought the course into the 21st Century. I have had feedback about your delivery from students whose opinion I respect. The feedback has been all favourable. In one instance the student said it was the best course he had taken at WelTec (Wellington Institute of Technology), the one he gained the most from. I know he has completed at least three programmes at WelTec over a number of years so this is a good recommendation. The way you have developed the course and the way it is taught I believe are not only beneficial to your students and the School of Engineering but to the wider WelTec and Metro groups (a group of New Zealand institutes focused on teaching engineering). Hence in past years I have asked you to share your methods with your peers in a number of presentations. Even yesterday at a Metro Management Group meeting MG5001 and what was delivered by the different members of the Metro group came up for discussion. My comment was that we are very pleased with the way and what we are delivering. My suggestion to those present was to go onto the Moodle site and view your material for MG5001 as an example of what should be done. So in summary I am very happy with where we are with the delivery and content of MG5001. It is vastly different from what was presented to the students in the first 2 years of BEngTech delivery. I do expect that delivery and content will keep evolving and I look forward to seeing what the future holds. Kind regards, Malcolm Fair Associate Head of School, Engineering (Degree and Diplomas) Wellington Institute of Technology

Andrew K. was admitted to the postgraduate department of Joint Stock Company Scientific Research Institute “GIRIKOND” in 2004… During his time at SRI “GIRIKOND”, Andrew proved himself as an honest and reliable person who took his tasks conscientiously. He was able to win the favour of his colleagues, and, having a good sense of humour, excellently managed to work in the team of colleagues much older than him… I myself have known Andrew for more than five years. During this time he has astonished me with his intellectual curiosity and the strive for the study of the environment. He has a creative mind that allows him to solve non-standard tasks successfully… In my opinion, Andrew is a much promising scientist, engineer, and manager. Dr. Olesk A.O. Head of Department, Semiconductor Devices SRI “GIRIKOND”

Andrew K. has worked for SPEL (Serco Project Engineering) for 18 months. During this period he has performed his tasks in an extremely competent and professional manner. This included an extensive knowledge of electronics which has been of great value. He is very reliable, honest and an excellent time-keeper. He has established an outstanding rapport with his fellow workers and management. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any future employer. Mike Martin Head of Department, Electrical and Electronics Serco Project Engnieering
