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: Unit Coordinator reflection
Feedback
New assessment criteria (in Assessment 2 and Assessment 5) reduced the number of assessments being returned to students due to inaccuracies or incompleteness. This allowed for more efficient marking and timely feedback to students.
Recommendation
Continue to include the new assessment criteria for Assessments 2 and 5 in future offerings to support efficient marking and timely feedback to students.
Action Taken
The assessment criteria were continued into this offering.
Source: Medical Imaging Team
Feedback
With increasing student numbers within the CG92 course, it was identified that if Magnetic Resonance Imaging was considered an assessable modality in the Holistic Assessment in Other Procedure Area, this would provide more clinical placement site availabilities, hence supporting student success.
Recommendation
Investigate the addition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) modality in the Holistic Assessment in Other Procedure Area.
