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 Observation by markers and UC

Feedback

Authentic assessments helped develop skills relevant to the professional practice while reducing academic integrity infringement cases

Recommendation

1. Authentic assessments will continue to be used. 2. Additional case studies will be provided in tutorial activities to help students familiarize themselves with the assessment tasks.

Feedback from UC and tutors' observation

Feedback

Emerging generative AI tools like ChatGPT have a significant impact on students' study behaviors.

Recommendation

1. Review the assessments to make them more authentic, thereby reducing the negative adoption of generative AI tools in studying. 2. Update the online quiz question bank: Incorporate more situational questions that require students to role-play and apply academic knowledge to real-world scenarios.
