Students' Feedback
Exploring the key themes from student feedback to support continuous improvement in teaching and subject design.
The End Subject Survey (ESS) seeks students’ perceptions of their learning experiences in subjects taught at the University of Melbourne. Approved by the Academic Board, these instruments assist in the continuous quality improvement process for subjects.
The sections below align with the ESS questions. The page associated with each question contains descriptors and tactics to consider, drawing on current research and relating to BEL+T's DIAgram. Together, this framework offers a shared language and clear challenges.
It is important to communicate to students the changes made in response to their feedback. To support this process, BEL+T has developed a subject changes template that can be embedded in Canvas, making it easy to clearly articulate how student input has informed ongoing improvements.
