'Feedback’ at a university level can be understood as any part of the learning process which is designed to guide your progress through your degree programme. We aim to help you reflect on your own learning and help you feel more clear about your progress through clarifying what is expected of you in both formative and summative assessments. A comprehensive guide to feedback and to forms of feedback is available in the Guide to Assessment Standards, Marking and Feedback.
The School of PET aims to provide some form of feedback on all formative and summative assessments that are carried out during the degree programme. In general, feedback on any written work/assignments undertaken will be sufficient so as to indicate the nature of the changes needed in order to improve the work. The School will endeavour to return all exam feedback within the timescale set out in the University's Policy on Assessment Feedback Turnaround Time. The School would normally expect to adhere to the times given, however, it is possible that exceptional circumstances may delay feedback. The School will endeavour to keep such delays to a minimum. Please note that any marks released are subject to ratification by the Board of Examiners and Senate. Meetings at the start/end of each term provide you with an opportunity to discuss and reflect with your supervisor on your overall performance to date.
The feedback process for assessments and reassessments in this module will be transparent and timely to ensure that students have the opportunity to reflect on their performance and improve their skills and knowledge.
For formative assessments such as presentations and discussion participation, students will receive verbal feedback during the class or immediately after the session. For summative assessments such as research papers and critical reviews, students will receive written feedback through the University's virtual learning environment (VLE) within 15 working days of the submission deadline.
Feedback will be detailed, providing constructive comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the work submitted, and offering suggestions for improvement. Additionally, the feedback will be aligned with the learning outcomes of the module, allowing students to clearly understand how their work has met or fallen short of the expected standards.
In case students require reassessment, they will be provided with detailed feedback on their original submission and specific guidance on how to improve their work to meet the required standard.
The module convenor and other module staff will be available for consultation and further feedback throughout the module, both in person and through the VLE, to address any concerns or queries that students may have about their performance or the feedback provided.
