Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student

Feedback

The name says it all - complex. But the lecturer makes sense of it all and is very supportive and good.

Recommendation

The lecturer is a specialist working in the industry and will continue to bring real-life experience and examples.

Feedback from Student

Feedback

It would be helpful if the unit used MSTeams as experienced in other units. MSTeams is very helpful in its speed of response to questions. It also allows students to discuss matters.

Recommendation

The use of MS Teams is at the lecturer's discretion, although the Moodle Q&A and Forum continue to be the main communication system. However, students enrolled in the unit are encouraged to use the MS Team between themselves for mutual support and discussion.

Feedback from Student and Lecturer

Feedback

A few links to resources (mostly YouTube videos) did not initially work in Week 1. However, all were quickly rectified or updated. It would be good to avoid this if possible in future terms.

Recommendation

Some video links can slip through pre-term testing or change after the release of the unit to students. They are repaired as soon as they are discovered.
