• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
The main feedback mechanism is from the workplace supervisor directly to the student during the placement. This feedback will refer to the technical implementation of the work as well as to workplace-specific matters, for example, regarding punctuality, organisation, efficiency and team-work. The supervisor will read a draft of the thesis before submission for assessment and will provide feedback to the student in advance of submission.
