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.

Source: Qualitative feedback from the SUTE student survey and conversation with the Unit Coordinator over phone/email and/or via zoom
Feedback
Most of the DST students showed concerns on workshop scheduling (1-3 pm) . They mentioned that scheduling workshops in evening so that more students can attend and it would be useful
Recommendation
Schedule live workshops for the DST students in the evening from 6 - 8 pm.
Action Taken
It was not scheduled in the evening at first but then changed after week 3 to better accommodate working DST students. After work-hour drop-in sessions were also added.
Source: Qualitative feedback from the SUTE student survey and conversation with the Unit Coordinator over phone/email and/or via zoom
Feedback
The students generally expressed the satisfaction with teaching, support, resources, and assignments. They appreciated that the teaching staff is enthusiastic and engaged. They mentioned that the majority of resources provided were very useful and relevant. They appreciated that the lecturer went above and beyond to engage and offer support to students. However, there were some errors in the early weeks for practice quizzes but these were minor issues. Students also asked to add some examples in the weekly workshop slides to further elaborate the key theoretical concepts.
Recommendation
Online practice quiz links need to be checked before Week 1. Test and run the online quiz by UC and at least one member of the teaching team from the discipline. Moodle resources and the lecture slides need to be updated. The weekly workshop plan needs to be updated for a 2-hrs workshop. Student-centred activities and some real-world case examples should be added to the PowerPoint slides.
Action Taken
On line quizzes were checked before week 1 and before making it visible to the students. Text book, all Moodle resource and weekly modules were updated including weekly workshop plans. Case-study was authentic and current.
Source: Qualitative feedback from the SUTE student survey and conversation with the Unit Coordinator over phone/email and/or via zoom
Feedback
The student generally expressed their satisfaction with made up assignment cases, but he/she think it could be done with a real world example to add another level of sophistication to it.
Recommendation
Revisit the Assessment 3 guidelines and the case. Use some real-world contemporary cases or news articles from HR-related magazines for A3.
Action Taken
Assessment 3 guideline was revised and a real and contemporary Australian context case was used based on recent news articles.
Source: SUTE comments and emails.
Feedback
Students were appreciative of the teaching quality, knowledge, resources, support and friendly approachable teaching team.

Feedback
Most students could not attend noon workshop in the earlier weeks during work hours. When the evening workshops and drop-in sessions were introduced, the levels of attendance, engagement and satisfaction were higher.
Recommendation
Schedule workshops to accommodate student requirements where possible and break down the 2-hours workshop in 1-hour recorded workshop and 1-hour unrecorded drop-in session for customised support.

Feedback
A few students commented on the lack of clarity in assessment task details and delay in providing the additional assessment tips. Some students also found the assessment 2 feedback inadequate.
Recommendation
Make all additional assessment tips or support videos available in the assessment tile before week one. Review the assessment task details for further clarity and mention all additional resources in the task description. Ensure that more detailed in-text and customised feedback is provided for assessment 2.
