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

Feedback

Sometimes the videos used are older and talk about assessments/events that haven't occurred in this cohort

Recommendation

All lectures will be updated for the 2023 offering.

Feedback from SUTE Feedback

Feedback

I found it really difficult to do the online exam because I could not write down notes to prepare my answers. I feel that if I could do that, I would be able to provide more logical answers, as speaking of any type is not my forte.

Recommendation

The oral exam is part of the course structure which was externally accredited by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) in 2021. In the future, students will be provided with additional support to prepare for and practice the oral viva assessment.

Feedback from SUTE Feedback.

Feedback

2,500 world limits I find hard to achieve. Could be more successful in reducing the word count a little.

Recommendation

Due to the 50% weighting of the two assessment tasks for this unit, a word count of 2500 was deemed appropriate. For future offerings, additional complexity will be added to each of the assessment one case study options, enabling further exploration.
