• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Peer review activities
The feedback strategy will follow the current policies of the School of Archaeology. The students will receive an assessment of their annotated script before they produce their final podcast. The final grade for the podcast will be based on: (1) the initial annotated script, (2) the changes made after the assessment of the annotated script, and (3) the final podcast. Students will receive informal peer review feedback on their podcasts in a short round of questions after the podcast is presented in class. Feedback on the essay will be presented to students post-assessment. Time will be set aside in week 4 to discuss potential topics and guidelines for the essay.
