Dear students,
Thank you for your responses to the Unit Evaluation Project which occurs throughout the year. Each semester or at the conclusion of your unit, you will receive a link on your ARK dashboard to the survey that forms the project. These surveys form ongoing data-driven decision-making to improve the student experience of units and learning at the University.
There were 416 units run in Semester 1, 2021 at the University, out of these, there were 116 classes (combined units) that completed a survey. Out of 824 individual student responses surveyed the percentages of those that strongly agreed to each of these aspects of their learning below were:
