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

Feedback

A student requested clearer instructions on the relationship between assessments 1 and 2.

Recommendation

The Unit Coordinator will add a flow diagram in the Unit Assessment Guide showing the relationship between each assessment.

Feedback from Discussion with students in Workshop 4

Feedback

It would be beneficial to include content on how to end a group in ways that both keep the agreed time commitment and which allow for exploration and contingencies arising during the group facilitation.

Recommendation

The Unit Coordinator will add a short video outlining how to end a group in a timely manner that also allows for exploration and unexpected events during the group itself.

Feedback from Unit coordinator's observations.

Feedback

In Assessment 2, students complete a feedback evaluation form on a group run by another student. The comments in these forms are not always supportive or helpful and students may benefit from some guidance on how to give feedback to others.

Recommendation

The Unit Coordinator will add a short video outlining how to give constructive feedback to others in evaluation forms.
