• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Self-assessment activities
All students will receive individual feedback on their written assignment after they have been graded. This will be delivered via Brightspace and is intended to provide guidance so that students can learn and develop for future assignments. Through in-class activities students will have a chance to self-assess and reflect on their understanding and learning of key concepts, in order to identify areas where revision should be focused or clarification is needed. Students will also engage in informal peer-review activity to help each other assess their progression, identifying areas of good understanding and areas in need of more work.
