• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Online automated feedback
• Peer review activities
• Self-assessment activities
Intra-semester on-line formative SBAs and SNAPIs will be offered to students during delivery of the module. Automated on-line feedback will be provided following completion of these exercises. Individual assessment pieces gain peer and group / class feedback feedback post-assessment, with larger assessments gaining individual feedback Group project work will involve self- and peer-assessment along with the delivery of group / class feedback as part of this process. All students failing the end of semester assessments are offered an opportunity to discuss their results with the Module Co-ordinator. Queries from passing students are dealt with on an individual basis
