Initial consultation event: Content workshop
This document summarizes a workshop about developing a feedback survey for postgraduate taught students. The workshop aimed to get participant views on criteria for questions, topics the survey should cover, and how to structure the survey. Suggested themes included quality of teaching, learning and teaching, intellectual challenge, skills development, and student support. Participants provided input on important topics, irrelevant topics, and how to order and structure questions for different audiences and purposes like program enhancement, student choice, and accountability. The timeline for developing and piloting the survey was also discussed.
