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 Student feedback via SUTE. Informal student feedback during term (in tutorials).

Feedback

Students gave positive feedback that they enjoyed the challenging nature of the unit regarding how psychology relates to their views on a range of social topics.

Recommendation

Continue incorporating content and discussion activities that challenge students’ worldview on important social topics.

Feedback from Informal student feedback during term (in tutorials).

Feedback

Feedback received informally from students indicated a lack of familiarity with the type of assessment tasks they were undertaking (e.g., what a 'reflexive diary' is).

Recommendation

Review verbal and written assessment information provided to students to ensure that clear and practical instructions are provided that facilitate students’ understanding of the assessment tasks and how they relate to real world skills. Emphasise with students the link between the assessment tasks and the unit and course learning outcomes, particularly how the assessment tasks aim to build knowledge and skills relevant to critical social psychology.
