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 SUTE Comments Report

Feedback

A students find that the course work is overwhelming and creates a challenge for students trying to balance work/life/study

Recommendation

Unit coordinator will review the Moodle content and reduce it down to the textbook resource only and leave it to the students to find their own references for the Assessments.

Feedback from SUTE Comments Report

Feedback

A student found the content delivery challenging and too complicated, because their learning style differs from the teaching methods used. Like they learn independently, rather than through engagement.

Recommendation

Unit Coordinator will consider simplifying the unit content to enhance accessibility and engagement for a diverse student cohort. This includes adapting materials to support various learning styles and providing alternative pathways for students who do not intend to pursue careers in financial planning or prefer minimal interaction with the learning community. At the same time, these strategies should be implemented to ensure that key graduate attributes—particularly Teamwork and Communication—are effectively developed within the unit.

Feedback from SUTE Comments Report

Feedback

One student felt the Financial Planning (Statement of Advice) Instructions were a little difficult to decipher

Recommendation

Unit coordinator will reemphasize that if any instructions are difficult to understand to reach out and ask for clarification.
