• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
Continuous assessment comprises a set of homework assignments that are graded, with feedback given in a problem class 1-2 weeks after each submission. This feedback should be useful to students to prepare for the exam. Students may also approach the lecturer at any time for individual feedback.
