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 Unit Coordinator self reflection
In light of the high risk of GenAI use in online and un-invigilated quizzes, assessment tasks should be reviewed to ensure rigorous assessment of student learning and knowledge.
It is recommended a Unit Update Proposal is submitted to move away from online assessments due to a high risk of GenAI use in un-invigilated and online quizzes. The weighting of online assessments will also be reduced to allow the rigorous assessment of student learning and knowledge through reflective assessments.
Feedback from SUTE student comments report
Some students would appreciate clearer expectations and more rigorous assessment design for the opportunity to apply clinical reasoning.
It is recommended assessment design continue to include reflective styles of assessment to allow students the opportunity to apply clinical reasoning, with time provided to clarify student expectations.
Feedback from SUTE student comments report
Students enjoyed the balance between evidence based theoretical content, content expertise and in person workshops.
It is recommended the Unit coordinator continue to develop and source evidence based materials, and include content experts in the delivery of both the online tutorials and in person workshops.
