Students experience vastly different standards of feedback not only between courses but also between units. On the National Student Survey (NSS), we see year after year that students’ expectations for quality, constructive feedback are not necessarily being met. 

We are asking the University to do a deep dive into what students expect from assessment feedback, and to use this to create a minimum standard for what quality, actionable feedback looks like. This will support academic staff to understand what students feel they need from feedback, and will help students understand what to expect by building a more consistent standard.

 

• A shared expectation between students and the University is formed. 

• This expectation is informed by students and academic staff.
