Feedback Strategy/Strategies

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

The module is studio and workshop based and involves drawing, model making, processing of sample materials and sometimes construction of sample materials outdoors on campus, therefore it is subdivided into several 'work stages' across the semester. These are assessed on the due date and feedback is given verbally within several days or the following teaching date. Additionally, a joint, group activity may be included with engineering students, during a period of approximately two weeks. This activity is assessed separately by teaching staff from landscape architecture and engineering.
