Description

This is a simple student feedback exercise that enables problems on a module to be identified early in the semester and addressed by week 4. It is less extensive than the Mid Module Review (MMR) in questions and coverage, but complements the MMR. It can also be administered by an academic without any technology. It works best with large modules where the module lead needs to understand a large cohort’s experience. 30 minutes is needed after class to go through the responses, action any changes (may take longer depending) and put up a ‘you said, we did’ Moodle announcement.
