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 + Informal feedback

Feedback

Viva assessment was an excellent way of demonstrating knowledge of the unit.

Recommendation

Viva Voce Assessment will be maintained as it allowed for more authentic assessment in an invigilated setting.

Feedback from SUTE feedback

Feedback

The laboratory practical is very useful for reinforcing the unit content. The laboratory workbook was very comprehensive and also assisted student learning.

Recommendation

Refinements will be made to further enhance the relevance of the Residential School practical to our students' clinical practice and to include more advanced techniques where possible.

Feedback from Informal feedback

Feedback

The rubric for the written assessment was unclear in some parts.

Recommendation

The rubric will be reviewed and updated to increase it's usability and clarity.
