Home >> Courses Offered >> Making the Most of Feedback
The feedback that a student receives on their work has been shown to be a key influence on their achievement. It also can contribute significantly to student satisfaction.
The value of feedback for students depends to some extent on the frequency and quality of the feedback that is offered to them. However, little attention has been paid to the student’s role in the feedback process. If students can be given guidance on how to seek, receive and handle feedback, they can be more ready to make full use of feedback in their development. It is essential that students take an active role in relation to feedback.
