Review It

A learner-led course evaluation

Abstract

Review It is a learner-led course evaluation tool providing advice from students to students who are finalising paper/offering choices as they progress through their study. Review It encourages reflection of the student’s learning experience, and asks what advice that student would give other students. Survey results are moderated and made public online. By directing students to consider how they engaged with the learning material and delivery of an offering, Review It provides prospective students insightful advice from a student perspective. Students may also choose commend a lecturer or offering. The Review It question line also captures student perceptions of weekly workload, how close the offering matched their expectations, and whether there were unforeseen additional costs in study materials and resources. The benefits of the survey extend both to students and the institution; students have access to first-hand course testimonials, while the institution benefits from the first hand reports of students’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their courses.
