Table 5 Comments on “Getting started” and “Workshop”

Aspects you could comment on: What was the best and worst thing about this section on the website? How could the website be improved? Are there any other concepts that you would like to have covered? If you did not use the Getting started section, why not? On reflection, do you think it would have been helpful to use this website before or at the beginning of the semester?

Positive comments

I used the “Getting Started” activities and I found everything very useful. I finished TAFE 6 months before starting uni and these activities were refreshing my knowledge. In my opinion the website was easy to use.

I found everything that was covered was quite beneficial

I thought the Getting Started Program was great, helping in refreshing my knowledge, I would recommend that every advanced standing student should access this before they start their lectures. The content I feel covered most at an introduction stage though may need to look at disease state a little more for medication wise

A great help

I printed off the eBook on medical and anatomical terminology and throughout the semester I did refer back to it to help me learn some new words. That part was great. I didn’t get a chance to do the online test as I wasn’t aware of it until later in the semester and by the time you do all the tuts, other online test I just out of time to fit them in. However as I find the online test in other areas such Pharmacology very help I’m sure those test would have been too. I just wish I knew about it earlier

Great presentation, very good in getting me up to speed again

Very useful as an advanced standing student for both my subjects: pharmacology and understanding disease concepts. The website gave me insight as to the content and concepts which would be discussed and studied throughout the semester

I feel like I’m ready to study now! Thanks!

Negative comments

Did not attend (review of Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology) as email notice was given too soon prior to session. Will however follow up online through the Blackboard site

(This orientation could be improved) by breaking it in parts. It (was) too much for one day
