What Is Feedback?

 

 

 

 

Making the Most of Feedback

 

Feedback on your performance comes in many ways and is much more than the mark/grade and comments associated with assignments and exams. Using the feedback you are given is an essential part of your learning process and you should use it to help you progress. Look on feedback as being constructive, even if it appears critical of your performance.

* assessment criteria grid, showing where you are placed against each criteria

* model answers
