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 SUTE

Feedback

The HP4 learning tools are very helpful.

Recommendation

Continue to utilise and expand the HP4 learning tools, considering additional features or resources that could further support student learning.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The teaching material was heavily reliant on images, with limited explanation of their clinical relevance in some instances.

Recommendation

Ensure that explanations of the clinical relevance of images are provided to enhance students' understanding and application of the content.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The laboratory sessions were highly enjoyable, but their effectiveness was occasionally affected by technical issues with the Lt software.

Recommendation

Discuss the issue with the Lt support group to ensure that any technical problems are resolved and that the software operates smoothly for future laboratory sessions.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The unit is well-organised, with clearly structured laboratory sessions and weekly content.

Recommendation

Continue providing well-structured laboratory sessions and weekly content, and explore opportunities for further improvements.
