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.
