So, what do students really think about the feedback they get? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Tendai Dube attended the Association for Learning Technologists (ALT)\u2019s Online Winter Conference 2019 (11 \u2013 12 December) and was intrigued and thought to share these perspectives on feedback. One of the presenters asked participants to give examples of useless feedback they had ever received, and then examples of feedback they found useful. The following raw comments given by some participants echo what some of our students here at Loughborough also said about their experiences and hence they are worth checking out. [At least 4 students volunteered to share their feedback experiences during a Wolfson School\u2019s staff workshop on Assessment and Feedback in October 2019]. It is hoped that this will help guide academic staff on the nature of feedback they give their students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what do students really think about the feedback they get?
