Unit development in response to student feedback

Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each unit. Yo strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link). In previous versions of this unit, students have told us that these aspects of the unit have helped them to achieve the learning outcomes:

● ● ●

Seminars covering the assessment tasks Submission of introduction for feedback prior to full report Online lectures covering the material in-depth

Based on students' suggestions for improvement, we have:

● ●

changed the seminars from 1 hour per week to two hours per fortnight provided multiple resources for each topic

If you have any concerns about the unit during the trimester, please contact the unit teaching team - preferably early in trimester - so we can discuss your concerns and make adjustments, if appropriate.
