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 items and evaluation score

Feedback

Students reported that reiterative feedback on tasks was helpful for their understanding.

Recommendation

Rationale for competency-based constructive feedback will continue to be reiterated to support students reflection on skills and own practice. The content and context of the task, as well as the nature of task development and engagement in learning relative to their skills in practice will be supported through verbal and written feedback pre and post timing of task completion dates in the unit.

Feedback from Student feedback items

Feedback

Students reported lecture length was too long.

Recommendation

The length of time for content will be adapted for practice of techniques through demonstration followed by clinical application and practice in class.
