Feedback

Maybe get onto the assignment instructions and tutorials earlier as they are very time consuming especially with other essay writing for other units

Unit coordinators will provide all assignment information in a timely manner to enable students sufficient time to plan and prepare.

Feedback from SUTE data 2022, T2

Feedback

I hope that it can be ensured that marker's write more appropriate comments on a student's paper and what a student did right or wrong

Recommendation

The unit coordinators will work more closely with all markers, and ensure that the expert moderation process is followed. A range of support resources will be provided to all markers including a Zoom session outlining assessment requirements, expected student responses and marking criteria. Unit coordinators will moderate a range of each marker's papers, and will intervene early if any issues of concern noted.
