• Examples of types of feedback

• Other resources

Questions raised:

1. What kind of feedback here? Test feedback or assignment feedback? Individual feedback or feedback to the entire class?
2. It needs to be useful & meaningful feedback to support students learning rather than just using quizzes as feedback.
3. If providing feedback for all assignments, I need to think of budget as well as tutor would spend more time on assignment marking and giving feedback, also to provide support to students!
4. I asked students to write one thing that I learnt from the course and one thing I don’t understand, tutor marking and give feedback in class, is this considered as feedback?
5. How early is early? Within 2 weeks, students are still confirming the course, if giving feedback in week 2, some students may miss the opportunity

Questions raised:

• Clearly state grade scale at UoA

Questions raised:

1. Could faculty do their own way of rounding marks?
2. Canvas offers different options of rounding marks, is it ok to use any of the options?
3. Some faculties are doing scaling marks (+ or -), is it ok for us to continue to do that?
