Many thanks to those students who did respond to the USS process - 38% of the class provided helpful feedback. The overall tone of the responses was positive (with 83% of students in agreement about q1-6 and the overall survey, and the mean ratings being 4.11 for q.1-6 and 4.08 overall). It is pleasing that students appreciated the work of the academic team who tried to provide an outstanding learning experience. In particular, 100% of students who completed the survey said that staff were responsive to students, with a mean rating of 4.33. Some of the most positive comments focused on the quality of the lectures, the variety of topics, getting to know other students, the breadth of sustainability topics, the intellectual challenge of lectures and assignments, peer engagement, the friendly lecturers, and so on. Some students found the unit of study "super interesting" and clearly derived benefit from it. There are a number of areas for improvement in the future. The quantitative survey showed that some students did not feel part of a learning community - this is more challenging at the postgraduate level and with both in-person and online cohorts in the class. It is something that we are trying to foster, and will continue to make efforts to do so, but need to enhance the experience for some students. Some students felt the unit of study was disjointed. This is partly the nature of the introductory unit covering a range of topics, and there were efforts to draw cohesion and links between topics, but I believe it was also due to a number lectures having to be reordered in Semester 1 due to Covid-19 issues. Unfortunately this probably did increase the perception of the unit being disjointed, but it was beyond our control. There were concerns expressed about the 2nd assignment, the report, not having examples of past reports to show. The report assignment outline and marking guide in Semester 1 had even greater emphasis than previously on the assignment being a report, that it needed to include certain components, etc. Following discussion with the tutors we feel that one of the key reasons why some students struggled with this aspect of the assignment was the early release of the assignment and then the Easter break and the hand-in following a public holiday, which all meant that students had less time to ask questions when they were focused on completing the assignment. We will pay more attention to this matter of report format and working closely with students during a part of the semester that is most disrupted by breaks and public holidays. There were a few comments on the marking of assignments - we attempt to provide timely and useful feedback so that it can be used in future assignments. This was done in Semester 1, 2022 - thanks in particular to Kiran's assistance with the marking. There was also a comment about the role of the introductory unit and its relationship to other units. We recognise there is some overlap in content between units, but we do try to minimize that - an example being that prior to introducing a new lecture of ESG as advocated by some students in a previous USS round, I checked with the coordinator of SUST5006 to ensure that this would not be an overlap. There were some changes in other units of study that have meant greater overlap with SUST5001 in some regards, and these are being discussed with a view to avoiding such a scenario in the future. The other issue raised was assignments in different units of study being due at the same time, with two weeks notice. This is a challenge because of the timing of the semester, and in particular no-contact weeks and public holidays, but in SUST5001 we gave as much notice of upcoming assignments as possible (handing them out and discussing them before the previous assignment was submitted) in order to give students the maximum possible time to think about and work on an assignment. Finally, thanks again to those students who provided feedback. While the response above has focused more on the critiques to explain why some actions were taken or to acknowledge that changes are needed, the overall tone of the quantitative and qualitative feedback was positive. We are pleased that students enjoyed the unit of study in first semester, 2022. Hopefully this is a great foundation for your ongoing learning. Your feedback is also very important in assisting us to maintain the high standard of this unit of study and to continually look for ways to make it even better. Thank you.
