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
Students recommended consolidating the first few weeks of content to enable more time to spend covering the regional biomechanics.
It is recommended that the content delivered during the first few weeks of the unit be reviewed and consolidated where appropriate to improve learning progression and manage student workload.
Feedback from Face to face communication.
Students loved the interactive and physiotherapy-specific activities, such as sports taping and diagnostic ultrasound.
It is recommended that interactive and physiotherapy-specific practical activities be maintained to support student engagement and the development of clinically relevant skills.
