How will my Feedback be Delivered?

Depending on the tasks, your feedback will be either communicated online, or delivered in class discussions. Feedback is expected from both research supervisors and a module coordinator, as well as a faculty panel who will attend your final presentations and offer their comments. Your fieldwork and research reports are assessed by your group supervisors; your in-class presentation is assessed by a panel of faculty members; and your final reflection journal is assessed by the module coordinator. Module coordinator has the right to assess other assignments, too.
