Assessment & Feedback Cases

This assessment involves meeting all Year 1 students individually to discuss assessed written assignments. Students are given an assessment template which outlines the lecturer’s criteria with gradings and descriptors clearly annotated. Students are invited to give their views on their own work including an appropriate mark. The lecturer provides qualitative feedback using appropriate examples form the student’s work and then reveals his mark, clearly explaining reasons for it. If the student argument is convincing, the lecturer may alter the assigned mark.
