For summative assessment submitted at the end of the trimester, i.e. written examination (45%), students can request individual feedback in the Spring trimester. For the written tasks, feedback on drafts will be given to students individually so that they can apply what they have learnt to the summative task. This will be done by the teacher and by student peer-review activities. For the audio-visual tasks, feedback will be provided via samplers as a group activity during class time or individually through Brightspace. Feedback on oral production will be given during class by group reflection exercises and peer-review activities. Further Individual feedback will always be available on request by the students who can avail of the Office Hours provided by the teachers for consultation.
