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 SUTE
Some students noted that greater clarity around the coverage of selected assessment topics within lectures and learning materials would be beneficial, particularly in relation to health promotion and community diagnosis.
It is recommended that the unit coordinator reviews learning materials and lectures so they include clearer signposting of key concepts assessed within the unit, particularly for health promotion topics, to further support student understanding and preparation for assessment.
