UPDATES TO THIS SUBJECT The School is committed to continual improvement in teaching and learning. In assessing teaching and learning practices in a subject, the School takes into consideration student feedback from many sources. These sources include direct student feedback to tutors and lecturers, feedback through Student Services and Business Central, responses to the Subject and Course Evaluation Surveys. These important student responses are used to make ongoing changes to subjects and courses. This information is also used to inform systemic comprehensive reviews of subjects and courses. While every effort is made to keep the subject database current, students may find that occasionally, the assessment information in the subject outline differs from the information on the subject database. In such instances, the Subject Coordinator will make appropriate announcements in the first class of the session.
