Feedback from Student evaluation

Feedback

When it came to reviewing a submitted assessment or class task, some students believed that more attention and focus response time to emails could have been more timely.

Recommendation

The teaching staff, including the Unit Coordinator, will reply to students' queries and give them sufficient feedback on time in the future.

Feedback from Teaching team

Feedback

There was a peer assessment practice item on Moodle. However, most of the students did not practice enough, which impacted their submissions and gradings.

Recommendation

The peer assessment practice session must be continued. The unit coordinator can make a video on how to do the peer assessment. The tutors can have a session or a part of a session where students will practice the peer assessment tasks in the tutorial session.
