Your voice matters: Course and teaching feedback
There's still time to complete your Semester 1 course teaching surveys before they close.
Last semester we reached the highest response rate for the SECaTs the last decade– an incredible 40%! This record-breaking response means more students than ever have provided their feedback about what’s working well in their courses and where they believe improvements can be made. Student feedback has already helped shape changes across many different parts of the UQ experience, including teaching, assessment and course design. It's your turn to let your voice be heard– take a few minutes to complete the Semester 1 survey and help us improve your UQ experience. Watch this short message from UQ and the UQ Union and find out more about why your feedback matters.
