Why weren’t these mistakes picked up in the tutorial review that was completed in 2021?

The tutorial review was a separate review, that considered timesheet submission errors by staff where the “Other Required Academic Activity” activity type was used in place of the tutorial activity type, and instances of inconsistent descriptions of the teaching activities across core documents (timetable/Unit Guides and Handbook) but with a substantive reference to tutorials.

It included:

• checking more than 1.8 million submitted timesheets; and
• a manual review of course handbook, unit and related documentation for more than 11,500 units (287,500 pages) taught across the University during the period under review.

As part of our commitment to paying our staff correctly in line with our  Enterprise Agreement and relevant legislation we undertook these new Quality Assurance reviews of our processes to ensure ongoing improvement and compliance.
