Feedback from Have your say Student feedback Teaching Reflection
Even though rating for Moodle navigation increased; students still commented that the Moodle site was difficult to navigate.
Continue to improve Moodle site of DSMG29003: use module format; ensure details of assessment information in one place on the Moodle and use Moodle book instead of a printed workbook.
Feedback from Have your say Student feedback Teaching Reflection
Students appreciated the timely and detailed feedback on assessments.
Continue to provide detailed feedback for DSMG29003.
Feedback from Have your say Student feedback Teaching Reflection
Student appreciated engagement of the lecturer particular around explaining assessments. Having access to previous Moodle sites, including feedback from the inaugural unit coordinator helped clarify assessment for the current unit coordinator. However some students were still confused by assessments 2 and 3.
Change assessments for DSMG29003 to be clearly aligned with industry practice as well as theoretical approaches to the concepts explored in the unit.
Feedback from Moodle discussions Student feedback Student assessments Teaching Reflection
This textbook is very much focused on ecological systems and climate change. While students could adapt these ideas to the assessment, it is a very deductive and highly theoretical process and any application to ‘real life’ easily lost.
Remove textbook for DSMG29003 and use a combination of readings and industry reports.
