| Feedback |
The following mechanisms have been put in place for both the formative and summative elements of the compulsory Preventive Dance Medicine course:
I. In order to address a more effective delivery and use of student feedback and especially managing student expectations regarding this timing an agreed turnaround period is applied from initial submission of formative work submissions.
2. An agreed turnaround period ( approx. 15 working days) is also applied and from initial submission through marking and moderation to release of marks and feedback.
3. Also in relation to managing student expectation and to extend feedback beyond post-assessment, feed-forward mechanisms are implemented for this compulsory course. This includes staff members providing further assessment information in advance of the assessment, specifically detailing the requirements of the assessment. This also includes commentary on a draft plan or agreed section of the work and within this details of what is expected and specific assessment criteria are discussed.
4. Feedback for assessed work is provided online using Grademark software within LEARN, improving accessibility for students, in addition annotated hard-copies where submitted are also available. |
