Read the following article, which is available through Taylor & Francis Online Links to an external site. (your institution's library will likely have a subscription to this journal, or try searching the article's title in Google):

Price, M., Handley, K., Millar, J., & O’Donovan, B. (2010). Feedback: All that effort, but what is the effect?, Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 35(3), 277-289.

Focus on the section ‘What is it for?’ on pages 278-279.

Consider the following questions:

  • What purposes does feedback serve?
  • How can you make these explicit to students?
  • How can you ensure the feedback provided is taken up and used by students to enhance their learning?
