• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Online automated feedback
Solutions to the tutorial group work will be provided by the tutor, and the solutions will also be posted on Brightspace. For the tutorial tests, the solutions will be posted on Brightspace, and you will also receive your marked test back during your tutorial in the following week. The lecturer and/or the tutors will give general feedback on the tutorial tests if there was a particular point that a lot of the class had trouble with. The solutions to the in-lecture problems will be provided by the lecturer immediately after the group work. For the Numbas exams, you will receive online automated feedback, including worked solutions.
