Case study: Problem-Based Learning - Liberal Arts at WarwickThis case study looks at our departmental approach to engaging with student feedback, and steps we undertook to make the module/program feedback process a more practical part of the overall learning environment. The project ran from early 2016 to spring 2018, but is being re-evaluated for future development. |
