A round-up of your feedback so far

Our series of workshops with students so far, and the open form to submit thoughts, queries, and suggestions, has resulted in rich feedback on what students at the University of Wolverhampton expect from the curriculum framework in place at our university. Thank you, to our student community for continuing to engage in this project. There were no common questions received in our open form, but for information, here is a round-up in the themes in your comments so far…

The majority of comments received were about learning and teaching activities, which continues to be a priority for students and staff in the development of the curriculum framework. Specifically, students who completed the open form were interested in ensuring teaching activities were accessible, there was a range of opportunities for assessment preparation, and that we delivered engaging teaching with the opportunity to exchange and develop ideas with peers.

Touched upon in your responses were comments on teaching activities that foster belongingness and accessible ways to learn, as a broader theme of equity and inclusion. The University’s Student Success Strategy 2035 pledges to deliver a “supportive and inclusive learning community to enable our students to feel valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.” This theme will be integral to the Curriculum Framework.

Professional development of our students is another theme in comments, and in our Student Success Strategy 2035. Students who completed the form detailed their expectations on flexible ways that work experience could be gained, placements delivered and the need to ensure University of Wolverhampton graduates are prepared for their future.

You expressed the need for easy-to-understand language relating to the structure of your courses and course information. Some comments discussed the structure scheduling of assessments and articulation of learning outcomes.

The final theme in responses was one of general satisfaction from students in their current experiences. Students reported receiving high quality teaching, and feeling they were in a good place to build the foundations for a successful career.
