Guidance on how to approach written assessments should be offered earlier.
ALC tutorials to be brought forward 1 week earlier. Assessment overview and tips ECHO360 recording by unit coordinators to be brought forward by 1 week.
ALC tutorials were run in Weeks 3,4,5 and then again in Week 9 and 10 before each assessment was due. The ALC tutorials were held immediately following the unit tutorials so that the students were already online.All ALC tutorials were attended by both unit coordinators to demonstrate a united approach to the learning and maintain consistency when answering any questions.

Too much reading required for the unit.
Review of the recommended weekly topic reading and tutorial preparation reading will be undertaken.
There was no required reading for tutorial preparation and unit reading was changed to be in line with current topics relevant to the weekly module.

The lectures were hard to stay focused on due to the same level of tone and speed throughout the whole recording. One week's lectures (7 or 8) was from 2018 and they gave information about a particular disability support service that "isn't available until next year, it doesn't come out until 2019" which was disappointing
Some of the lectures were re-recorded this year to update content. It was not possible to re-do this every week. This unit will not run in the new Bachelor of Nursing in 2021.
