Craig and Shunil are the best lecturers and unit coordinators I have experienced throughout the three year course. The most important approach that Craig and Shunil use in their teaching is consistently creating a safe environment for students. It not only helps reduce anxieties and confusion because you feel comfortable to be open with them and can clearly recieve what they are saying but it also motivates you to want to engage more. The resources and support materials for assessments that they provide are extremely helpful and support student to be able to produce good quality work. They also have a really warm and encouraging approach that allows people to speak and rather that telling them they're wrong as a lot of coordinators do, they are very diplomatic and thoughtful about the ways in which they can redirect the person to the right answer or different way of thinking without making them feel ashamed or publicly highlighting their errors as other coordinators often do. I wish every unit had lecturers like Craig and Shunil, they are worth infinitely more than their weight in gold.

Just want to say that Craig & Shunil have been amazing this semester! I have transferred from another university and the student support has surpassed the support received at the old campus. the content was clear and concise and was easy to engage and follow along with. the assessment units are clearly written and the rubric is easy to follow along with. Overall, very happy with this unit. And a massive thank you to both mentioned about for advocating for your students mental health and taking the time to check in on students.

I was lucky to have met one of the lecturers in a previous class so I felt connected. I have to mention that I had some very difficult personal matters occur during this term and must give recognition to Shunil Raina who really helped me focus on what needed to be done, gave supportive words and encouragement, and a little laugh. For somebody who is going through a stressful period, this unit can be quite triggering as it is bringing great awareness to how much you may NOT be coping and how truly stressed you are without realising it. I feel it would be most beneficial for a mental health professional to remain as a lecturer for students taking this unit, and that students are aware of who this is.

I am so grateful that we have such a great team to provide the wonderful unit in this term. I learned a lot from the weekly zoom tutorial which present in a humorous and realistic way. Also, the assessment feedback from my UC, especially Shunil, is so great. They really considered the situation that English is my second language and provide so many helpful advices in the comment of the assessment. I believe my nursing career will benefit from the knowledge I obtained in this unit and the UC team. Thank you so much!

This was a very relevant helpful unit. Was a good opportunity to reflect on nursing practice throughout our placements, not only for our assignments but for ourselves to see how far we had come and what challenges we have overcome already. Very engaging helpful teachers. Thank you.

Workbook: Positive student feedback was received in relation to the module-to-module format. I found the workbook was a fantastic way to work through the content and make sure understanding was gained through answering questions. Reference lists made understanding of the type of references to search for more concise. The zoom videos were longer than other subjects, however, I liked the fact that the information was linked to real-life scenarios experienced by the lecturers. Having the zoom lessons recorded was also fantastic as I have a very heavy work schedule that did not allow me to attend live classes.

The workbook format will remain as it promotes a positive learning experience for the students. Workbook content and aligned learning activities will be updated to incorporate contemporary literature. Tutorials will continue to be recorded so they are available to all the student cohort.

Online tutorial sessions: The availability of the unit coordinators was identified by students as beneficial and contributed to their ability to submit their assessments. The unit coordinators made the tutorials a safe and calming space. One student found the tutorials needed to be shorter in time.

Tutorial sessions will be divided into two-thirty-minute sessions to increase student participation.

Shunil has to be the most respectful patient caring lecturer. Anytime I needed support or help he would call take the time to explain ensure the outcome is fair and reasonable, I think even beyond. What an amazing man cqu have, I will never forget how he made me feel when I was struggling mid term. He just got it without judgement or disrespect.

I loved listening to shunils lectures, he was interactive showed passion and enthusiasm for the topic and linked to well to real world practices. Out of all the units i have completed to date shunil has "sold" the content and i believe this is reflected in the assessment marks achieved by students as a clear reflection of the unit coordinators ability to teach the content. I value it all, well done!
