• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
Students will complete regular assessed pieces of work throughout the semester and will also sit class tests. Some assessments will be individualised, while others will be in the form of group work (an important transferable skill). Feedback on assessments and class tests will be given in written format for individual students, while group feedback will also be offered in class on assessments and class tests as a whole. All feedback will normally be given in the week following the assessment/class test.
