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 In-class discussion with students, high ratings of the value of feedback, self reflection.

Students commented that having 2 assessments, each weighted at 50%, resulted in high stress.

It is recommended that the unit coordinator review assessments to consider whether the requirements and tasks that form the current two assessments can be re-distributed across a minimum of three assessment tasks, with one due early in the term.

Feedback from SUTE ratings.

Students indicated that requirements for the unit weren't always clear.

It is recommended that the unit coordinator engage students in discussion about the assessment requirements described in written and video task instructions on Moodle in the first in-person tutorial.

Feedback from In-class discussion with students.

Students commented that the flipped classroom model can result in skipping week to week readings and lectures until an assessment requiring that knowledge is due.

It is recommended that the unit coordinator continue to reinforce the value of the flipped classroom model and consider adding knowledge checks at the beginning of each in-person tutorial.

Feedback from SUTE ratings.

Students indicated that they valued the usefulness of the content taught and the helpfulness of the feedback provided.

It is recommended that the unit coordinator continue to use practical materials to apply evidence-based practice and continue to provide specific feedback on assessments.
