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: Student feedback in 'Have your Say'
Feedback
The quiz given was incredibly difficult and did not reflect the learning material. The book was hard to navigate with items not being in the index that we were talking about.
Recommendation
It is recommended that students read the prescribed text chapters, reading materials, and PPT so that they are able to identify the solutions.
Action Taken
Workshop sessions stressed this aspect but students were largely unprepared and did not attend consistently.

Feedback
Moodle did not work well on my iPad
Recommendation
Recommend to TaSAC that core programs such as Moodle are compatible with Apple hardware and operating system.
Action Taken
With increasing mobility and devices, an ability for students to use their iPads to access Moodle would be an advantage.
Source: Student feedback in 'Have your Say'
Feedback
It was difficult to communicate with my lecturer on the forums and via email.

The course coordinator will post relevant announcements on the Moodle site and student queries will be responded.
Action Taken
Moodle posts and emails were used extensively through the term. Emails direct to the UC were tracked and retained on file for audit purposes.
