Gathering Feedback The first step is to think about how you are going to get feedback from the students you represent. You’ll likely need to experiment and try a few different methods to make sure you’re giving all your students good opportunities to express their opinions. We know there may be fewer face-to-face opportunities than usual this year so try and use the chances you do get; staff should be supportive in allowing you time at the end of sessions to talk with your peers. You could try: -
Surveys (allow for anonymous responses) or online polls
(Google Forms or Survey Monkey are good free tools) -
Physical or e-drop boxes (Padlet is a good option)
-
Set up a messaging group, WhatsApp or Messenger, or ask to
have a ‘chat’ stream on your programme’s Teams’ channel
-
Face-to-face – at the end of a seminar or group session, this could be
a good opportunity to get some context on feedback, or check with a
wider demographic if feedback you’ve received so far is truly representative.
