Post-assessment individual and group level feedback will be delivered, which students can then apply to their final summative assessment. AT2 will require students to self-assess their final presentation and peers to provide feedback on this presentation. Post-assessment feedback will be group and individual.

The final portfolio is assessed and the students will receive individual and group-level feedback post-assessment.
