I find the subject very engaging. I'm interested to access additional learning resources post-covid era in order to better understand the impact on IHRM practices & issues among MNEs.
Recommendation
Providing students with continuous support including class discussions of recent case studies and academic journal articles relevant to the IHRM practices and issues of MNEs during the post-covid era.
Action Taken

Feedback
NO teamwork in the ULOs but currently teamwork is in Assessment task 2.
Recommendation
Consider changing ULOs as there should be teamwork in the ULOs but currently, teamwork is not in the ULOs. The new Unit Lead might need to submit UUP for this unit.
Action Taken

Assessments 1 and 3 and potential AI writing.

Assessments 1 and 3 would need to be modified to make them more authentic to reduce AI writing. This has been discussed with the 2024 Unit Lead.
Action Taken
