Source: SUTE comments phone conversations and emails.
Feedback
Most students could not attend noon workshop in the earlier weeks during work hours. When the evening workshops and drop-in sessions were introduced, the levels of attendance, engagement and satisfaction were higher.
Recommendation
Schedule workshops to accommodate student requirements where possible and break down the 2-hours workshop in 1-hour recorded workshop and 1-hour unrecorded drop-in session for customised support.
Action Taken
To accommodate working students, the two-hour midday workshop was split into a 1-hour recorded session and a 1-hour evening drop-in session, significantly improving flexibility, engagement, and attendance.
Source: SUTE comment
Feedback
A few students commented on the lack of clarity in assessment task details and delay in providing the additional assessment tips. Some students also found the assessment 2 feedback inadequate.
Recommendation
Make all additional assessment tips or support videos available in the assessment tile before week one. Review the assessment task details for further clarity and mention all additional resources in the task description. Ensure that more detailed in-text and customised feedback is provided for assessment 2.
Action Taken
All assessment support materials and videos were uploaded into the relevant assessment tile before Week 1, and assessment task instructions were revised for clarity. Additionally, more detailed and personalised feedback was provided for Assessment 2 to address prior concerns.

Staff Feedback/Self Reflection
Recommendation
To encourage greater attendance at online drop-in sessions, it's helpful to consistently remind students of the value of these sessions in supporting their understanding, especially for assessments. Promote them regularly via Moodle announcements, weekly emails, and during workshops—clearly outlining what students can expect (e.g., Q&A, assignment help, concept revision). Creating a welcoming and informal atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions can also boost attendance, as can sharing anonymous feedback or testimonials from past attendees to highlight the sessions' usefulness.
