Feedback and professionalism

Today we had our SSCC where student representatives get to (usually) air grievances and raise problems for our attention. It's a great forum, perhaps a bit slow having just one meeting per term but we are, usually, a friendly, open school that welcomes feedback. Feedback from my module seems to be that I've mistakenly given the impression that the DOM0 is old-fashioned (true) and useless (false), which is useful feedback but I'd have been happier to hear about it after a lecture so that I could correct the misapprehension immediately. Level 3 students also expressed the opinion that I'd asked them to read too much -- 1 chapter per week seems fine to me, perhaps it's the 3 chapters for their "reading week" (no lectures!) that they feel is excessive. I'd have expected final year students to be better at reading than second years, but apparently not... Ho hum.
