What makes good feedback?

What is good feedback?

Over the past year, a lot of work has gone into defining what students want from feedback on their work and the level of quality it currently is.

We've seen trends of dissatisfaction in the National Student Survey, and carried out research to see what students want generally from feedback, and this survey will help show the priorities for students.

Please rank each statement in order of priority - and yes, it will be harder than you think! You can leave any comments to help explain your thoughts at the end.

Thanks,

Sasha
VP Academic Affairs
