Why is RMIT surveying courses?
The University has been progressively moving to standardized and systematic collection and reporting of course level student feedback in accordance with the Student Feedback Policy adopted in May 2005. In addition to the Student Feedback Policy a number of issues require the University to conduct more systematic and transparent student feedback processes at the level of individual courses. These include:- • Staff need to evidence student feedback in teaching portfolios to be used for self reflection, peer review, improved practices and promotion and probation purposes. • Variability in quality of the teaching and learning environment has been consistently identified in the Top Ten Student Concerns at RMIT. • In some programs RMIT is presently scoring poorly in the good teaching items of the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) administered annually to graduates. The CES gives the University the opportunity to gauge student’s views on their learning on an ongoing basis for each course.
