This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade).

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: SUTE data, comments and emails
Feedback
Teaching quality, support, contemporary and interesting Moodle resources and authentic assessments were appreciated by most students though one student found the text book less than friendly to navigate.
Recommendation
Keep up the supportive, involved, and informed teaching engagement. The Moodle resources, and assessments should remain contemporary and interesting. The textbook must be regularly updated or changed.
Action Taken
The 10th edition of Stone (2021) is used for the course, which has proven effective for foundational HRM content. Select Moodle sources were updated to keep content up to date.
Source: SUTE comments and workshop/phone interactions.
Feedback
The 2-hours weekly workshops are considered difficult to commit, engage or even watch considering most students are working.
Recommendation
Compress the weekly workshops to one hour recorded sessions. Unrecorded weekly or fortnightly meetings may be introduced as optional drop-in sessions for additional assessment support and networking.
Action Taken
One hour lecture recordings were provided and two hour weekly workshops were effective in delivery content and assessment development. There were regular phone interactions for select students (who needed more help and wanted extra engagement).
Source: Student survey, in-class feedback, email feedback.
Feedback
Students have requested more clarity between A2 and A3.
Recommendation
A2 scaffolds onto A3. However, there is overlap, as this was the perspective of many students (discussed in class and through email contact). Recommending to have more variation between A2 and A3, as students were concerned that the group work would be used for the individualise report and this would impact quality of submission.
Action Taken
In Progress
Source: Student survey.
Feedback
Student has requested individualised feedback for Group Presentation.
Recommendation
Marking group presentations are done in real time during class, to give individualised feedback more time needs to be allocated to marking in class and students would need to wait for each individual student's marks and comments to be uploaded between presentations. Recommending more time is given to marker to give individualised feedback.

Feedback
Add gamification to enhance learning experience.
Recommendation
To enhance the learning experience for students, gamification would allow a more connected learning process for the cohort (who have grown up online and comfortable with gaming as a tool). Recommend using Kahoots or similar to develop deeper learning platform that is engaged.
