Assessment feedback is an aspect of feedback to which facilitators should commit particular attention. When providing assessment feedback be sure to:
  • Communicate clearly
  • Be thorough
  • Seek to help students improve
  • Reinforce course objectives

In addition, students will be best served when the instructor:

  • Clearly outlines expectations and evaluation criteria
  • Focuses on 3 main points and assures an equal amount of feedback per student
  • Communicates general assessment feedback to the entire class when appropriate

Regardless of the techniques, no student should ever be more than 1 week from their next assessment. Facilitators should make a point of giving useful feedback in frequent and useful intervals.
