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 Unit Coordinator

Feedback

Upon reflection, the unit lectures require consolidation to provide students with more time to prepare for final assessments in their final year.

Recommendation

It is recommended to adjust the unit schedule by consolidating lectures into an intensive block (mid-term), hence offering students more time to prepare for final assessments. This adjustment aims to minimise stressors and improve overall learning experience in their final year.
