Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Students expect the unit to integrate more real-world applications into the content to enhance their practical understanding.

Recommendation

It is suggested that more real-world applications and examples should be incorporated into the lecture content, and guest lectures from industry should be added.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Students expect more detailed feedback on group assignments.

Recommendation

Additional drop-in sessions should be organised to support the group assignments.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Students find it difficult to formulate answers for open-ended assessment tasks.

It should be clearly communicated to the students that the assessments are intentionally left open-ended to simulate real-world scenarios. Additional sessions should be organised to provide progressive feedback for open-ended assessment tasks.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Students find that the lecturer was passionate about the content and provided more opportunities to ask questions.
