Feedback from Student evaluations, individual student feedback and feedback from the teaching team.

Feedback

Assessment items: Positive feedback was received about assessment items. Students enjoyed researching and learning more about a topic of their choice in project management in assessment item 3. They also appreciated the practical aspects of the assessment items where they were able to apply the theory they were learning in class.

Recommendation

Continue with the current assessment regime, but with modifications to the assessment item 3 class presentation time due to reduced time in the tutorial/workshop classes.

Feedback from Student evaluations, feedback from the teaching team, feedback from individual students.

Feedback

Tutorial classes: Due to COVID-19 constraints and the reduced time now available for the tutorial/workshop classes, Microsoft Project practicals have had to be removed from the classes. Many students expressed disappointment about this.

Recommendation

Alternative mechanisms will be explored to include Microsoft Project practicals in the unit if there is no longer time to include all the practical work in the tutorial classes.
