Assessment Strategy

• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment

• Group/class feedback, post-assessment

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

Phase 1: Formative Each of the eight learning journal entries should be submitted by the Wednesday of each week (apart from the first week of the module). There will be prompts on Brightspace that will help you write these entries. You will receive feedback on these within two weeks of submission. This feedback will include an indicative, but not a final, grade. Phase 2: Summative After receiving feedback on each week’s learning journal, you will have the opportunity to revise and resubmit your entry. It is the revised and resubmitted entry that will receive a letter grade. All revised entries will be due at the end of the semester, but you may also submit them as you finish them.
