At the end of each academic year, students are asked to provide feedback to staff about their experience of being on the Programme. In this week’s post Kerry Sorby (as level one co-ordinator) summarises the recent level one review day (Cohort 2017).
- 96% students were satisfied with the quality of their course.
- 92% felt that the course had challenged them to produce their best work.
Students were asked to use three words to sum up their experience of their first year on the programme. Student responses were used to create the word cloud below. The most consistently used words were: challenging, interesting, enjoyable, exciting and fun!
Students shared their highlights of their programme so far. Interestingly, these include a range of social activities from across the whole of the YSJOT community- staff, student, student union and OT society.
Finally, students also shared a range of constructive ideas that can be used by the programme team to inform the design of future teaching and learning sessions. These include more social interaction between year groups, more opportunities for small group discussions/debates and more regular academic tutor meetings.
At the end of each review day students will be a given this badge to honour 40 years of Occupational Therapy education at the University
