Anonymous student feedback was collected for the first two runs of the unit
(Table 2). In total, 114 responses were collected and provide insights into student
perspectives on the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches taken in the design
of the unit. The pilot run of the unit captured feedback from 32% of the cohort during
teaching on the latter half of the academic year. The second run received responses
from 78% of the cohort from teaching taking place in the first half of the academic
year.
1 Students on the pilot unit were, therefore, able to situate their reflections in
the context of a greater level of exposure to their home discipline.
1 This differentiated level of student response is rooted in the different sizes of the two cohorts.
Whilst the pilot run involved over 260 students, the second run involved 40. At the time of writing,
we are preparing for the third cohort—involving 300 students.
