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 Unit Teaching Evaluation response
The AI assignment was interesting, however the learning outcomes were somewhat already known to students prior to the assessment piece.
It is recommended to review the AI assessment task to ensure a suitable level of content and learning.
Feedback from Student Unit Teaching Evaluation response
The students liked that the In-class tests are run in two halves (Part A & B) rather than one big examination.
It is recommended to retain the in-class tests as Part A and Part B.
