This year we are launching a simple and effective way for you to share feedback about your academic experience. The Academic Feedback Tool is designed to help you communicate directly with your Academic Reps, who use your insights to drive meaningful improvements across your course.
What If My Feedback Is Not Academic Related?
How Does The Tool Work?
Clicking the button above will send you to an easy to use Microsoft Form which you will complete. Please give us as much detail about your feedback as possible so we can ensure it can be properly shared with the appropriate people. Once your feedback is submitted, we aim to send your feedback to the relevant Representative within 5 working days and we will email you acknowledging this has been done. Your Rep is expected to update you when action is taken regarding your feedback.
What Feedback Do I Give?
We collect feedback in three categories through the tool: Praise, Concern and Idea. Whether you want to celebrate something that’s working well, raise a concern, or suggest a new idea, this form is your space to be heard. Please see below for examples of each of these.
Praise
Share what’s working well.
Tell us about the aspects of your academic experience that you’ve enjoyed or found particularly valuable. Be specific! Mention staff members, units, dates, or changes that made a difference.
Examples of praise might include:
Enjoying a particular unit or assessment style
Positive changes to teaching or learning
Improvements in how academic representation is run
Feeling that your feedback has been taken on
Concern
Raise a worry or issue.
If something isn’t working, let us know. The more detail you provide, the better reps can understand and act on your concern. Include relevant staff, units, dates, and how you became aware of the issue.
Examples of concerns might include:
Issues with unit content, organisation, or support
Feeling that feedback isn’t being acknowledged or acted on
Worries about how academic processes are being managed
Idea
Suggest something new.
Have an idea to improve your academic experience? Share it! Include timelines, who might need to be involved, and how feasible it might be to implement.
Examples of ideas might include:
New academic content or teaching methods
A different way to run part of your course
Academic events or initiatives
Ways to engage students in representation
If you are looking to submit feedback that is not about academic based issue, praise or concern, there are a couple of ways you can do this:
- Contact the SU Voice Team - Let us know your feedback so we can signpost you to the relevant place for that feedback to be heard. Our email is su-voice@bath.ac.uk.
- Contact the relevant SU Officer - Each of your elected SU Officers have a remit of responsibility around the student experience at Bath. The most effective way to share your feedback is directly with the most appropriate Officer so they can raise it with the relevant staff. Find out more about their remit on our SU Officer page or contact them at suofficers@bath.ac.uk.
- Submit a Statement of Issue - propose a topic for The SU to adopt a stance on (e.g. teaching quality, campus facilities, student support). Standpoints reflect SU values and can guide future action. To find out more, visit our Standpoints page.
