While studying in 2020 at the University, many students continued to rise to the challenges and horizons of the current times. In terms of the whole sector, the University of Divinity has maintained student satisfaction to a high level. However, we want to keep hearing your experiences and feedback on your units of study, and let you know the results. The semester 2, 2020 Student Unit Evaluation results were released recently. In the areas students have highlighted, staff are working to increase quality and improve the design and delivery of units of coursework study. These results are continually shared to encourage and thank you for your participation.
Students have made comments which show an appreciation of the importance of active participation in learning, including online, through the Learning Management System, ARK and the Library Hub. Lecturing staff have appreciated the hard work and patience of students in the mixed modes of learning and the resulting experiences.
Thank you, students, for your time and effort in sharing your experience. The University can grow and change because of your input.
