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 UNIT COMMENTS REPORT - T1, 2023

Feedback

The lecturer was commended for her delivery of the content and for keeping the students engaged in a unit they thought they would not enjoy.

Recommendation

We will continue to provide contemporary content and attempt to engage the students in evidence-based practice, which sadly is often considered boring and irrelevant to their practice. Hopefully, with time we will positively contribute to changing this mindset within our profession and specialty areas.

Feedback from SUTE UNIT COMMENTS REPORT - T1, 2023

Feedback

The lecturer was commended for being helpful and knowledgeable. For a distance unit, the students felt that they were well informed of the requirements and were checked up on throughout the term.

Recommendation

We will continue to provide consistent support and feedback throughout the term to the students in relation to their assessments and unit content.

Feedback from SUTE UNIT COMMENTS REPORT - T1, 2023
