Tutorial Feedback
As before, I have been making use of the optional postgraduate tutoring feedback forms to obtain more information on how undergraduates feel about tutorials. Here are the responses I received for Semester 1 09/10, from 15 students (of a possible 19) across two groups of Honours 1 students.
