 Edit

In response to student feedback there will now be a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) built followed by a second iteration of the system. 

We value student feedback to be able to continually improve the way we offer our units. As such we encourage students to provide constructive feedback via student surveys, to the teaching staff directly, or via the FSE Student Experience & Feedback link in the iLearn page.
