• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
Feedback on weekly quizzes will be provided in a number of ways. The mark will constitute summative feedback, however formative feedback will be provided as class feedback in lectures, and as online worked solutions. Any student who wants individual feedback can ask the tutor in the weekly workshop or the lecturer after any class.
