Source: Lecturer reflection
Feedback
The unit is a blend of practical skills and case study research demonstrated by continuous assessment.
Recommendation
Progressive lodgement avoids a spike in workload at the end of the term.
Action Taken
None, as the unit is part of a hybrid course started in 2017 which has never been successful. This course and thus the unit is to be terminated.
