Principles of Feedback
Feedback is essential for engaging students in dialogue around their work and support them in the transition to self-regulated learning.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to providing effective feedback. The methods you use will depend upon the needs of the subject and the teaching styles and learning modes used across a programme.
The important thing is to find out what works for you and your students.
The University’s six Principles of Feedback (shown below) outlines the standards expected of feedback for enhancing student learning.
