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 unit comment report
One student noted that while they found the unit enjoyable and rewarding, they experienced some difficulty navigating the combined task sheet for the two assessments. They suggested that separating the task sheets into distinct documents for Assessment 1 and Assessment 2 might improve clarity.
The unit coordinator acknowledges the importance of ensuring that assessment instructions are clear and accessible. He will review the current task sheet format and explore the option of separating the documents in future iterations of the unit. This adjustment aims to reduce potential confusion and support students in better understanding the requirements for each task.
