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 The lecturer and the Built Environment Team

Feedback

The current unit name does not reflect the actual learning delivered by the unit. It has now become more confusing as Project Management has a unit with the same name—PPMP11002. Hence, a new unit name is proposed as ' Construction Project Planning'.

Recommendation

An Update Unit Proposal will need to be actioned to change the unit name.

Feedback from An email from a student

Feedback

One student informed that the online session time is clashing with another unit. So, the student can only make the unit session every other week.

Recommendation

It is recommended to arrange the unit timetable minimizing clashes with other units. The unit teaching team will collaborate with the Head of Course - Built Environment and the college administration team to successfully perform the timetabling task.
