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 Student/staff feedback

Feedback

Numerous broken links embedded in study guides

Recommendation

As links are embedded in the weekly study guides, the study guides will need to be completely re-written in order to fix all the obsolete links.

Feedback from Student/staff feedback

Feedback

Content out-of-date

Recommendation

Redesign unit to reflect new and emerging trends and developments in experimental writing, including a focus on groundbreaking contemporary Australian writing.

Feedback from Student Unit and Teaching Evaluation

Feedback

Students appreciate the revised marking guides, noting that it improves their understanding of the assessment expectations.

Recommendation

Continue to implement marking guides in future offerings.

Feedback from Student Unit and Teaching Evaluation, and UC personal reflection

Feedback

Assessment weighting structure and delayed feedback caused in part by two heavily weight assessments due at the end of term causes anxiety and uncertainty around progress and ability to self-assess grade position.

Recommendation

Revise assessments for 2025, including assessment design, weighting, and due dates.

Feedback from Verbal student feedback and UC personal reflection.

Feedback

Regular weekly tutorials and attendance by students offers opportunities for real-time feedback, strong peer-to-peer and student-to-teacher engagement, and overall higher student performance.

Recommendation

Continue running weekly online tutorials.
