Previous Student Feedback

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 SUTE UNIT COMMENTS REPORT

Feedback

Lecture recordings should be updated.

Recommendation

Recordings are gradually updated; however, it needs to be made clear that on-campus students are required to attend face-to-face lectures, and recordings are offered as supplementary resources.

Feedback from SUTE UNIT COMMENTS REPORT

Feedback

Students enjoy real-life case studies and request more real-world examples and exercises.

Recommendation

More case-study-based discussions and assessments will be phased into the Unit. At least one external speaker per term should be engaged to give students an industry perspective.

Feedback from SUTE UNIT COMMENTS REPORT

Feedback

The assessment task descriptions are not always clear to students.

Recommendation

Assessment tasks are continuously updated, and task descriptions are subject to peer review. An assessment discussion is to be included in the weekly tutorials to give continuous guidance and answer queries. This is also expected to help students' time management in completing assessment tasks.
