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 Informal student feedback and Unit Coordinator reflection
Students may benefit from self-directed learning activities prior to their week 5 intensive.
It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator develops pre-reading activities and discussion posts for students to undertake prior to their week 5 intensive.
Feedback from Unit Coordinator reflection
It was noted that the delivery of an intensive block of lectures mid-term was successful and instrumental in creating a positive 2024 delivery of this unit and collaborated well with PODI14011.
It is recommended that the 2.5 day intensive session continues to be delivered in collaboration with PODI14011, if this is practical.
