Improving student perceptions of assessment feedback

In response to the findings of a research project exploring student perceptions of assessment feedback we created a PowerPoint presentation which colleagues could easily embed in lectures and/or seminars. In addition the Department of Policy Studies decided to add guidance about the purpose of assessment feedback to the coursework presentation and marking guide.  Students were also provided with the opportunity to have a one-to-one feedback session with members of academic staff about their work and the assessment feedback provided.
