Feedback
Assessment 1 was returned very late leaving little time to take feedback on board for next assessment.
Recommendation
Due to an error in the grading of assessment one, the assessment was late in being returned to students. This mistake in the rubric was corrected during the term, and adjustments were made to future rubrics. This should not be an issue in future.
Action Taken
The rubric was altered and the math beyond the grades was double-checked during the assessment planning phase leading up to term. Assessments were handed back in a more timely fashion for Assessment 1.

It was time consuming to be checking Microsoft teams and the news forums
Recommendation
This feedback was incorporated into the Term 3,2020 offering of NURS11163. A decision was made to use Microsoft Teams as the means of general discussion and asking questions, and to keep the News forum in Module to reduce the number of places students need to look for information.

The second assessment task was due not long after the first one, putting the due date for second assessment would give students more time and knowledge to complete the second one.
