Your feedback to us
One of the formal ways students have to provide feedback on teaching and their learning
experience is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The feedback
is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied with
and areas for improvement.

Previous student evaluations of this unit

In response to the last SETU of this unit, the following changes have been made:
(1) Changes corresponding to low evaluation of"The learning resources in this unit supported my
studies"
Make the lectures notes more comprehensive, particularly the example question parts. Encourage
the students to read the recommended textbooks. Additional tutorial questions and post the
solution online on time.

(2) Changes to address the low evolution of "The feedback I received in this unit was useful"

More actively engaged with student during the lecturing and tutorial sessions. Encourage students
to ask questions. Maybe ask some students to stand up and show other students how he/she
solves the questions.

Student feedback has highlighted the following strength(s) in this unit:

(1)Positive feedback on "I found the unit to be intellectually stimulating"
Introducing more novel and creative application of knowledge of mechanics for modern
mechanical devices, particularly related to my research areas, nanotechnology.

Blooms Taxonomy:
Three domains of educational activities have been identified under the general taxonomy known
as Blooms.

Cognitive: mental skills (Head)

Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Heart)
Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Hand)

The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This includes
the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the
development of intellectual abilities and skills.
The affective domain includes the attitudes with which someone deals with things emotionally,
such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms and motivations.

18

The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill
areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision,
distance, procedures, or techniques in execution.
