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 student felt the current 3-hour timed open book, online, non-invigilated exam time needs to be extended to at least 12 hours due to the requirement of referencing and the additional GenAI declarations

Recommendation

Given that all the students who completed the exam manage to complete all eight exam questions, allowing 40 minutes for referencing and GenAI declaration and citations, there is no reason to change the current exam design and structure.

Feedback from Self-Reflection

Feedback

Some students managed to pass with zero to minimal Moodle content work according the CQUSuccess data analytics

Recommendation

If the assessment tasks can be completed using other sources of information that is not necessarily on the Moodle, then the unit reflects some flexibility in how some students are learning. This will be reviewed by the unit coordinator.
