Feedback form

How can you make sure that feedback is useful? Assessment is not a means in itself but should help students to learn from mistakes.

Feedback helps students to:

• Understand the marks they have been given.
• Know where/what to improve for future assessments.
• Understand their progress against learning outcomes.
• Identify strengths and weaknesses.
• Improve their understanding of subject material and build upon their learning.
• Develop assessment literacy skills.
• Make choices regarding study pathways.
• Become self-reflective practitioners and lifelong learners.
• Feedback is always formative, even when given on summative assessments.

What you can do

• Review an example of your feedback using the bullet points above. Does your feedback fulfil these points?
