3. S2 SETU Survey for UG Units
The SETU online surveys for the S2 UG Units opened on 30th Sept and will close on Oct 28th so if you are undertaking an UG Unit can you please note that:
· You will get an email from the University’s Quality area once the SETU surveys are ready for you to complete. Please can you NOT delete this email or filter it out. You can access the SETU surveys via your my.monash portal and they don’t take very long to complete.
· We would really appreciate it if you could please complete a SETU survey for every Unit in which you are enrolled – as we do really want to hear your views about your Units and we do use your feedback to continually improve the quality of our Units.
· The online SETU survey has 2 parts – one is for you to rate the actual Unit and the other part is for you to rate the teaching within that Unit. You may also make some comments about the Unit if you wish but please note that there is currently no section in the SETU survey for you to make any comments about the teaching.
· In the Unit comments section we would like you to give us some constructive criticism and suggestions about how to improve the Unit. Please can you make sure that you do not write any comments which
o are of an offensive nature
o may breach the University’s Equal Opportunity Policy which is at http://www.monash.edu.au/equity-diversity/policies/equal-opportunity-policy.html
o refer specifically to individual teachers in a negative way. If these types of comments are made then the feedback from the SETU survey may not be able to be shared with the teaching team which then makes it harder for us to improve the Unit.
· Comments which refer to the overall teaching in the Unit without naming any individuals are fine. Positive or complimentary comments are also fine.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this matter. We really do care about what you say and do strive to continually improve our Units based on your feedback to us.
