During the second semester of my Masters programme in DCU, I assumed the role of class tutor for a class of first year Aviation Management students. Tutorials took place once a week under the name 'Introduction to Marketing.' In this role, I had to assign topics to both groups and individuals for presentation purposes. I advised and encouraged students in their work and what was expected of them, and was on hand to assist them if needed. Throughout the semester I was responsible for assessing and grading both the oral and written work of the students while providing them with relevant feedback and constructive advice that could help them in maximising their full potential academically.
