Previous Student Feedback

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 Student Informal Feedback

Feedback

Refine the assessment support regime

Recommendation

Students indicated that while they found the assessment support workshops helpful, there could be further consideration of the frequency of the meetings, how they are scheduled to meet the diverse range of student availabilities, and the inclusion of further practical training in research skills. These issues will be taken into consideration when scheduling and designing assessment workshops in 2025.

Feedback from Student Unit Evaluation

Feedback

Improve organisation of learning material

Recommendation

Learning materials for the 2025 iteration of this unit will be reviewed and updated in two ways: 1. Diversify the learning resources to include podcasts and video resources to supplement the scholarly texts for each topic. 2. Offer short video recording of unit coordinator's comments on the weekly learning resources to guide students through the material.
