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 evaluation

Feedback

An extra amount of time for the exam overall should be allocated given the expectation of referencing. Student requested an extra 15-30 minutes (at least).

Recommendation

Drop the number of exam questions from 10 to 8 questions, to give students more time for in-text referencing.

Feedback from Student evaluation

Feedback

Students found the Financial Planning Assessment more difficult than expected. Even though there was plenty of added help in the template it was still difficult and was harder than what the student expected in regard to the content covered.

Recommendation

Conduct additional workshops or tutorials focused on financial planning assessment topics. Use these sessions to clarify difficult concepts and offer hands-on practice.

Feedback from Self-reflection

Feedback

Students are dissatisfied with the Unit coordinator developed content that comes from several different resources and references.

Recommendation

Returning to textbooks will give them more content structure, and detail in one resource, rather than expecting them to access several different resources or sources of knowledge and information to learn from.
