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 Emails

Feedback

Due to the transition from one unit coordinator to another mid-term created some delay in response to emails

Recommendation

Attempt to provide only one unit coordinator per term. In this case, the change in unit coordinator was unforeseen, and the replacement Unit Coordinator ensured the students were abreast of the situation

Feedback from Self-reflection & SUTE

Feedback

Assessment items were structured well; scaffolding assessments worked well for the students, allowing them to defend their written work via an interactive oral

Recommendation

This assessment structure will be maintained for future offerings.
