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 evaluations
Feedback
Audio and visual quality of videos is varied. With students suggesting refinement in places.
Recommendation
New videos will incorporate enhanced audio and visual systems and practices.
Action Taken
New hardware being upgraded prior to semester commencement. New recordings to have improved sound.
Source: Student evaluations
Feedback
Numerous students commented on the quality of content and informative virtual classes, including 'I really enjoyed not having a textbook, and enjoyed the extra readings. It was catching to be exposed to the commercial industry as the lecturer had worked in that space and so it was easier to connect the industry practice with what we are studying.'
Recommendation
Unlike less specialized fields of study, there are no textbook resources or other materials that cover the property management knowledge and practice well. As such the lecturer(s) will need to progressively update the materials and incorporate industry practice.
Action Taken
The base body of knowledge that forms the unit content will be updated and enhanced.
Source: Unit coordinator reflection
