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.
Feedback from Students feedbak (SUTE and Verbal)
Students appreciated the timely feedback they received to improve their projects.
Continue to provide applicable and timely feedback.
Feedback from SUTE data and verbal feedback
Some students insisted on completing their preferred hands-on projects without understanding the time commitment they required.
Explain the requirements of different types of hands-on projects more clearly at the start of the term, so that students have a better understanding of the time commitment required within the context of a teaching term. Explore the potential for additional ready-to-engage projects for students who wish to collect and use real data.
