How will my Feedback be Delivered?

Feedback will be provided to students in a number of ways during this module. Technology will be used in-class for students to quickly gauge their understanding of psychological constructs. Students will be provided with feedback from the module coordinator on each stage of the case study enabling students to use that feedback to inform the next stages of the case study. Finally, students will be provided with summative feedback post submission of the final component of the case study.
