| Too many assessments and essays in a short period of time | We will be working with course teams to determine the best grouping of assignments across year levels and to spread assessments over the semester |
| It was more work than what I expected | We will work with course teams to check that course descriptions and open day materials outline clearly the workload required for each course. Where possible, options for reducing study volume will be provided to students. |
| I’m struggling to keep up with the workload | We will review the volume of workload and assessment across courses and units to ensure volume of learning aligns with requirements and guidelines |
Be opinionated. Please.
