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 Student Evaluation Survey

Feedback

Feedback from a student working in the industry, who felt the current template is overly detailed and includes information no longer required.

Recommendation

Review the SOA template to eliminate redundant details while retaining sufficient information for its role as a teaching tool. The template does not need to be fully industry-compliant at the undergraduate level. However, The current SOA template is designed as a teaching tool, enabling students to understand the structure, reasoning, and compliance considerations behind advice documents. This approach ensures students develop foundational skills in critical thinking and advice formulation before moving on to automated systems.

Feedback from Student Evaluation Survey

Feedback

Feedback from a student asks that programs like XPlan and Midwinter should be used to generate the whole SOA, and this is maybe something that the unit could incorporate rather than a full word doc template.

Recommendation

Continue to use Midwinter in a limited capacity for product research and data analysis. While these platforms are widely used in industry and provide comprehensive functionality, incorporating full SOA generation at the undergraduate level would be too advanced and may shift the focus away from the core learning objectives of the unit.

Feedback from Student Evaluation Survey

Feedback

One respondent appreciated receiving assessment feedback during the term and prior to the submission date, noting that it made a significant difference to know they could reach out and receive helpful guidance when needed.

Recommendation

Continue providing assessment feedback throughout the term and before submission deadlines via Zoom workshops and one-on-one consultations, rather than limiting feedback to the final grading stage.
