• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
Feedback is given on homework assignments, which are fully graded, and a problem class on each assignment is given 1-2 weeks after submission. This prepares students for the final examination. Individual feedback can be provided to students directly from the lecturer if sought.
