What constitutes “good feedback” is open to debate and may be influenced by discipline specific factors, however, the below provides a generic overview of considerations for those delivering feedback to students in Higher Education settings.
A good feedback strategy should engender the following attributes:
o Choice of feedback method (i.e. written, audio, verbal etc.)
o Both formative and summative assessment activities with associated
feedback or similar depth and personalisation
o Convenience for both tutors and students
o An associated dissemination strategy
o Balance
o Clear, comprehensible and individualised advice
o Provision to accommodate and include learners with disabilities
o Relevance, realism and authenticity
o Cultural egalitarianism
o Advice for accessing “expert” support where appropriate
o Feedforward
o Opportunities for follow-up discussion
