• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Online automated feedback
The provisional (indicative) grade of the Brightspace ICA MCQ quiz will be automatically indicated by Brightspace on submission of the quiz by the student. The anonymous grade profile histogram of the provisional quiz results for all students will be posted in Brightspace as soon as possible thereafter, in order that students may see their standing relative to other students in the class. If possible, the histogram is intended to be posted in Brightspace prior to the end of trimester written exam.
