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 - SUTE
Great energy! Could be a little more concise in assignment briefing video sessions.
Unit coordinators will provide further opportunities to students whether the unit coordinators answered questions asked. This approach can be in the form of check-back with the students to ensure clarity of the answers.
Feedback from Student evaluation - SUTE
I liked that the Zoom sessions were recorded because unfortunately these last 18 months were hectic and stressful, and I could view the sessions in my own time. I found the Zoom sessions were great for my learning and understanding.
The unit coordinator will continue to record Zoom sessions for the weekly lectures and online tutorials.
Feedback from Student evaluation - SUTE
Feedback was hard to comprehend and at times confusing.
Unit coordinators will work closely with markers to ensure consistency of feedback and marks. One way to achieve this strategy is to use expert moderation. The unit coordinators would conduct at least one moderation meeting with all markers and provide extra support to all new markers. In these meetings, the unit coordinators would share good representative examples of student work with clear expectations using the assessment task requirements, marking criteria and other related marking guidelines.
Feedback from Student evaluation - SUTE
Add [sic] was very polite respectful and approachable. The unit was very well structured and planned all the lecturers you did were very relevant and the videos you did to prepare us for our assessment pieces answered all our questions. Thank you very much for a great unit and I hope to encounter you as a unit coordinator/lecturer again.
The structure of the unit contents will remain, and unit coordinators will continue to support all students in their learning journeys.
Feedback from Student evaluation - SUTE
Thank you Ade, I really enjoyed your teaching style, your passion and belief in the nursing profession and the difference we as nurses can make. It made a difference to me. Your calm and factual manner inspired me and spoke volumes to me. Your knowledge and manner of explaining circumstances and flow on [sic] effects was [sic] so clear for me. The important, influential role we as nurses can and will have in the community was so well communicated. Thank you Ade, you have been an additional inspiration to me, to be the best nurse I can be.
The unit coordinator will encourage students to be the best students they can be despite some challenging situations.
