Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Understanding students’ use of feedback: A research project studying undergraduate and postgraduate Architecture cohorts

It has been argued that comments about students’ work only become feedback when students use them to make improvements to their work or learning strategies. However often they do not understand such comments or struggle to apply them. This presentation discusses the outcomes of a project researching how students comprehend and utilise feedback about their coursework. It explored questions such as which type of feedback do they find most useful what makes them more likely to act on feedback and if they revisit feedback. The objective was to learn how students make sense of feedback and to enhance learning from it.
