Assessment and Feedback Video

Create a new post on your blog about your reaction to the video. What did you come away with? Did anything surprise you?

The students who responded in this video all generally said the more the merrier. They prefer detailed one-on-one feedback from their instructor or tutor. They said that discussions, e-mail, and blogs are all helpful when critiquing student work. Many students complained about shoddy feedback such as just giving marks or a grade rather than sentences or discussion about the material. Students also seemed to want to know what to do with the feed back meaning can they apply what is given to make their work better. Some students can do this on their own, but some wanted assistance. Also, students seemed to want to hear positive criticism and explanation for exactly which parts of the assignment are being referred to. The information that I come away with is that details are important and if I'm going to spend time giving feedback then it should be detailed with positive criticism. I'm not surprised at anything the students said, I would want the same from any instructor.
