Course Evaluation

1501HUM NCT is definitely one of the more interesting courses I have done this year.

Things That Shouldn't Change
  • Interesting course content.
  • Nice and approachable tutors and lecturers.
  • The ability to cater your blog to your particular majors and interests.
  • The actual assessments themselves are really good - it is refreshing to not have to worry about going up to the uni on a Friday to print out your assignment - that's what these communication technologies are for, are they not? Although I do have to admit the Treasure Hunt in particular was very difficult...

Possible Changes
  • More efficient email replying.
  • Greater discussion of lecture content in tutorials.
  • Perhaps the tutorial's could be cut back to 1 hour instead of 2 as most people left the class early in any case - possibly use that extra hour in the lecture?
  • Criteria sheets for all assessments to be posted on Learning@Griffith or course blog at the start of the semester.
  • I think that instead of each part of the blog being only worth 20% this should be boosted to at least 25% if not 30% of the overall course mark. A lot of work goes into the blog and some people don't perform well in exams. Facing an exam that you know is worth 40% of your grade is a very daunting task!
