REF:66-2012-5656607 - Assignment feedback

Your comment: Module: BR10400 Feedback from assignment was very basic, no help to learn from mistakes. Teams calls are very boring and don't feel that they help us learn as we are only watching him doing spreadsheets. Feel like we need a bit of variety in the team calls. more feedback from assignments would be helpful too.

Our response:

Thank you for your comments. The written feedback is just one part of the feedback available to you. In some cases academic staff also give verbal feedback to the class. In all cases you are able to request additional feedback by contacting the person who marked the work or your personal tutor. Please see also page 43/44 of your student handbook (a copy is on the undergraduate module on Blackboard). Academic colleagues have been reminded to follow the guidance so if it is not met please do ask for more information from the marker. There is no standard guidance on Teams calls but if you have some specific examples of what you’d like do please raise them either directly with the module coordinator, with your tutor, via the Staff Student Consultative Committee or with me. We had some very differing views discussed at the most recent IBERS Staff Student Consultative Committee – it is clear some students prefer lectures via Teams while others prefer sessions to support the e-lectures or Q&A about coursework. We are all new to teaching and being taught via Teams so I’m very happy to hear what works well – but because of the differing views we can’t please all of the people all of the time.
