We have acted on your feeedback
We have worked together to implement significant improvements to your teaching and learning experience. The changes detailed below are a direct response to your valuable feedback and demonstrate the shared commitment of both students and staff to providing an outstanding educational environment.
Teaching on your course
You told us…
You are inspired by lectures that are intellectually challenging and engaging…
So we decided to...
…return to in-person lectures across all year groups this academic year, allowing lecturers to adapt their delivery based on student reactions, and for students to ask immediate questions and clarifications, fostering a deeper understanding of the teaching materials.
You told us…
You appreciate frequent Support and Feedback classes and enjoy the interactive and personalised learning opportunities they provide…
So we decided to...
…introduce weekly Support and Feedback classes on all core Micro, Macro and Quantitative modules in 2024/25.
You told us…
You think that there are improvements to be made in the content of modules…
So we decided to...
…launch a review of our curriculum to improve our degree programmes, address student needs, and adapt to the evolving educational and professional environment.
Learning Opportunities
You told us…
You would like more internships or practical experience during your course…
So we decided to...
…launch a new BSc Economics and Management degree programme in partnership with Warwick Business School. This programme includes an optional work placement year, allowing students to gain practical experience before completing their studies at Warwick in their final year.
You told us…
You wanted a clearer understanding of skills acquired in each module to develop your employability profile…
So we decided to...
…create a Module Skills page to help you understand how each module taken equips you with important skills as you progress through your degree. Visit our Module Skills page
Marking and Assessment
You told us…
Online exams are stressful, prone to technical problems, and you have concerns about academic misconduct.
So we decided to...
…introduce in-person exams on all modules in the 2024/25 academic year to improve the fairness, rigor and effectiveness of our assessment processes.
Academic Support
You told us…
It is important that you feel supported academically, whether through staff office hours, dedicated feedback sessions, or advice from peers.
So we decided to...
…develop a new Economics study skills session to assist students in managing their coursework effectively, incorporating peer experiences. Additionally, demonstration and drop-in sessions are scheduled before tests on core modules.
Organisation and Management
You told us…
Improvements should be made to how teaching is scheduled, and you disliked last minute information about timetabling changes.
So we decided to...
…redesign the timetable construction process so that the Term 1 and 2 timetables are published before the start of term and class sign up is opened for both terms at the beginning of the academic year.
Learning Resources
You told us…
You would like more resources pre-arrival and during Year 1 for those without a background in economics...
So we decided to...
… develop our academic resources for offer holders and new students, with the Refresher Maths Moodle course extended to include Statistics. Bridging resources are being developed to help students transition between Year 1 and 2 in micro and macro economics.
You told us…
You wanted more information about what each module would be about...
So we decided to...
…provide short videos where the module leaders provide an overview of their modules. We also held a module fair so students can learn more about the optional modules available.
Student Voice
You told us…
You valued opportunities for student involvement, such as surveys and student-staff liaison meetings, and would like your feedback to be acted on...
So we decided to...
…continue to foster a strong sense of community and collaboration, ensuring that we communicate regularly to you on how we have acted on your feedback..
