• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
The taught components of the course are assessed through an in class tests where results are provided following assessment. The mechanical design project has initial feedback on the chemical design calculations and TA or Lecturer office hours to address questions relating to the project, throughout its duration with feedback based on a final project grade post assesment. Feedback session on in class HAZOP exercise is conducted following submission of HAZOP report and via assignment grade.
