Feedback Strategy/Strategies

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

Feedback individually to students, post-assessment This can be through different approaches such as oral, audio, video and/or written/annotated feedback, either in-class, out of class, in meetings, through the VLE, by email, using rubrics, etc.

An extensive and detailed reading list will be made available at the start of the module. But the key text will be:

• Martin Heidegger: Being and Time.
There are two translations available. The earlier one (which I slightly prefer) by John Macquarrie & Edward Robinson, (Oxford: Blackwell, 1962); and a later one by Joan Stambaugh (State University of New York Press, 1996).
