Student Feedback & LeadershipECON1010 – Macroeconomics 1First Semester 2008The following comments relate to general student feedback and student markresults following course developments in Semester 1, 2008:––Most students were very positive about the use of the DVD series, withmany expressing genuine interest in economics. As a result an email wassent out to students with a list of readings they may enjoy in the futurerelated to economics.––The majority of students also continue to enjoy the feedback sessions.––There has been no significant change in the failure rate for thecourse. Certain groups continue to excel while others tend to lagbehind in outcomes.––A survey was also conducted to determine student reaction to thefeedback sessions and DVD series (264 respondents):––68% found the feedback sessions to be extremely/very helpful55% found the DVD series extremely/very helpful in understandingthe role and importance of economics in every-day life. (26% helpfuland 17% little or no help).First and Second Semester 2008Since 2005, there has been a progressive increase in the GTS componentof the CES for Macroeconomics, and the GTS has been consistently higherin Semester 2 (Table 3 and Figure 3). These results may suggest that fewerenrolments in Semester 2 facilitate an enhanced learning experience forstudents, especially in terms of satisfying the level of personalised feedbackand individual attention required.Furthermore, the increase in GTS since 2005 may suggest that therehas been a considerable improvement in student satisfaction following the2005 introduction of feedback forums and student question time after lectures.A student expectations survey was conducted in Semester 2, 2008 andfound that students expect the most effective feedback to come from dialoguewith academic staff, followed closely by feedback classes. Given these expectations,it is not surprising that an improvement has been seen following the2005 initiatives. However, a GTS comparison does not necessarily providea direct indication of how well initiatives have been received by students, soperhaps a more useful evaluation tool would be to conduct additional surveysspecifically designed to capture feedback regarding particular initiatives.Page 106
