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 U/C reflection
Students may benefit from clear guidance on the study leave days available to them during their allocated clinical placement, helping them manage unit submission requirements effectively.
Consider providing more details within the UP around attendance. Explain what and how to use the allocated study leave days during their placement time so that rostering and timetabling of assessment tasks can be facilitated appropriately. Make sure that this information is likewise conveyed to supervisors through the WIL office to avoid unnecessary confusion.
Feedback from Marker Feedback SUTE Feedback
Several students required further information around the mentorship sessions including the associated activities.
Investigate the option to distribute information in advance.
Feedback from Medical Imaging Team
Culturally safe reflection task coincided with the GAPA submission due dates affecting marking and feedback turnaround time.
Review assessment task timing to reduce overlap of due dates, enabling timely feedback by markers.
