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 Anonymous feedback provided to the student representative.

Feedback

Feedback was provided stating that university staff presence seemed more prominent at some sites and was absent at other sites.

Recommendation

Due to resource constraints, it is not possible to regularly attend rural sites which are considerably distant from the locations in which the course staff reside. The midwifery practice unit coordinators decided that moving forward, at the mid-point of each term, the unit coordinator will personally offer each student the opportunity to schedule a one-on-one Zoom meeting at a time that suits them.
