Study Locally. Impact Globally.
with a BSc in Management designed by the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE)
“All classes larger than 70 students will be reverted to online teaching”, according to a statement issued by the University of Malta, just a few days before the start of this academic year.
Mr Charles Theuma, Principal of Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education, upon being asked whether the University of London recognised teaching centre for Malta will be following the same policy, said that the Institute limits every student group to a maximum of twenty five students, and that mitigation against Covid-19 have been in place for some weeks. Mr Theuma reiterated that lecturing to large groups — sometimes hundreds in the same theatre — destroys any personal connection between the lecturer and each individual student. The Institute prides itself on a student centred learning pedagogy that starts from small and manageable groups of students in each class.
Throughout the summer months, the Institute was in contact with progressing students, as well as the new intake, and it was obvious that the novelty of learning from one’s bedroom has worn off. The Institute listened to what the students had to say about the matter, and as from Monday 28th September 2020 each students reading for degrees at SMI will be attending regular lectures at the Institute, with mitigating policies put in place, blended with online tutorials.
Mr Theuma continued by saying that faculty at SMI believe that online lectures to hundreds of students simultaneously are in themselves counter-productive because it is next to impossible to respond to feedback effectively, and students who may be starting their higher education this year will feel totally lost in an online (distance) learning model, and thus suffer most. Every effort is in place to ensure that this generation of SMI students will get the same opportunities as the previous cohorts who graduated from the world renowned University of London.
