• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
1. Prior to Assignment 1, students select data set and complete formative assignment activities. The formative student submissions will be discussed in dedicated class tutorial sessions. 2. For Assignment 2, students will work on their data analysis problems during a tutorial session, during which questions will be answered and feedback will be given by lecturers and teaching assistants (demonstrators) . 3. The individual assignments will be graded and feedback provided to individual students via VLE. 4. Upon request, students receive individual feedback on the final exam.
