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.

Source: Have your say survey
Feedback
The course material didn't line up very well with the assignments. The teacher is not the issue at all. He was very good. the material seems dated and didn't cover everything we needed to be able to complete the assignments
Recommendation
We’ll review and evaluate any identified gaps in the course material and update it if needed. The assessment design will also be tweaked to better align with the course content. To keep the content fresh, we’ll add modern case studies to better contextualise leadership theories for today’s world. Ahead of the next term, we’ll closely check the alignment between course materials and assessments. Any gaps will be fixed with updated slides, clearer mapping, and a refreshed reading list. These changes will be reviewed and assessed in the next AUER.
Action Taken
After students flagged that the course materials seemed outdated and didn’t fully match assessment expectations, we launched a thorough review of the assessments. The review showed that adding modern case studies could address this issue. We brought in curated case studies to keep the content current and better contextualise leadership theories, which helped close the theory-to-practice gap some students had pointed out.

Feedback
Link assessments with recent industry case studies
Recommendation
The teaching team will take a close look at the current assessment design and make updates as needed, incorporating recent case studies and real-world examples. This will strengthen the theoretical content and provide students with practical context for applying leadership concepts in today’s industry settings.
Action Taken
This was a valuable observation raised by the teaching team. We updated the scenario-based parts of the assessments to reflect recent trends and challenges in asset-intensive industries. This change aims to strengthen the link to theory while boosting industry relevance and student engagement.

Feedback
The lecturer opened the weekly online lecture with a check-in around the room, asking how everyone's week was. The topic could have been work or home. He also asked further questions on people's responses, showing true interest and compassion at times. I respected the trust and honesty in the group that he created, as did everyone else on the call.
Recommendation
Students valued the warm, welcoming vibe of the weekly sessions, where the lecturer kicked things off with a quick check-in, giving everyone a chance to share something personal or work-related. This slight touch went a long way in building trust and connection in our fully online group. The teaching team plans to keep this up in future terms, as it creates a supportive space for learning.

Feedback
Getting guest speakers was a great resource however it felt like it impacted the teaching aspect as there would be a rush to get through the weekly material.
Recommendation
Students liked the guest speakers but mentioned that their sessions sometimes cut into the time needed to dive into the weekly lecture material. We’re glad the industry input was a hit, but we see the need to balance the schedule better. Moving forward, we’ll plan guest speakers more carefully (slotting them into weeks with lighter content or offering their talks as separate recorded sessions) to keep the lectures in-depth and well-paced.
