• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Peer review activities
• Self-assessment activities
The assessments are structured to breakdown the research project activity into two preliminary assessments that provide feedback that will enable students to build on the feedback and feed it forward into their final AT3 Brief communication paper. They will also have the opportunity to access peer feedback in small teams and get self-feedback when they self-assess the quality of their work against a detailed rubric. Post-assessment students will receive individual and group feedback.
