Teaching quality/style at Strathclyde

Asking as a first-year undergrad Electronics Engineering student at another university: how are you lot finding the course structure, delivery, labs, etc. over there?
I know its a bit early to judge but I mainly ask because I feel that my learning experience so far has been nothing short of frustrating and I need to know what it's been like at Strathclyde. I could elaborate but it would likely sound very ranty and sort of deviate from the whole point of me asking this question.
Any responses from anyone, especially fellow STEM students, would be great.

Hey @Anonymous#1
It’s completely normal to feel frustrated, especially in the first year when everything is new and a bit overwhelming. At Strathclyde, the Electronics Engineering course is focused on building a solid foundation with modules in maths, physics, and introductory engineering. The structure is designed to get everyone on the same page, but it can sometimes feel repetitive or slow, especially if you’re already familiar with some of the content.
The course delivery is a mix of in-person lectures, recorded sessions, and tutorials. While some lecturers are great at explaining concepts and providing resources, others can be hit-or-miss, which can be frustrating. Labs are an essential part of the course and are generally well-organized, but the leap between theory and practical work can feel daunting at first. Lab demonstrators are there to help, but you often need to be proactive in seeking their guidance.
Common challenges include managing your workload, keeping up with lectures, tutorials, and labs can be tricky and adapting to the expectation of independent learning. Feedback on assignments and lab reports can also feel insufficient at times, making it harder to pinpoint exactly where you need to improve.
If you’re feeling stuck, don’t hesitate to reach out to lecturers, tutors, or support services, they’re there to help. Working with peers in study groups can also make a big difference. If you want to share more about what’s been frustrating you, feel free, I might help to get some tailored advice. Hang in there; things usually get better as you settle into the routine!

Hi Ethan and thanks for the response.
Sorry if I came across as a bit entitled or like I expected 1st year uni to be a walk in the park in the original message. I couldve been clearer that its not the slowness or repetitiveness (thats a mouthful) thats the issue. rather its stuff like the fact that my labs consist of copying diagrams and code, and just sticking things into breadboards or occasionally soldering, without exploring the principles behind the designs, while my friend at Glasgow uni (studying aerospace) has been figuring out his own designs for simple circuits by applying practical thinking and signal processing principles.
I guess what I'm looking for is whether the learning experience at Strathclyde sounds more like the former or the latter, since I was stuck between there and Heriot Watt for ages but went with HW in the end mainly because its closer to home. However, after accepting the offer and finding out a few other things, I've applied through UCAS to "transfer" there since I reckon I'd prefer Strathclyde for other reasons.
Of course, like you said, it should get better as you settle in and i do believe that but the truth is I don't feel settled in here unlike most of my friends who started at the same time. So while I don't think Heriot Watt is particularly bad (it has merit), its probably just not for me and I hope that Strathclyde do their labs and stuff differently to here but of course you cant get that info from the website.
