Feedback on your progress comes in many different forms, including written comments about your work, verbal comments from your tutors, discussions with peers, electronic discussion, emails, feedback grids and generic feedback.
Receiving and acting on feedback is a continuous part of your learning experience and will help you to develop knowledge about your strengths and weaknesses and improve your learning and performance.
It is important that you:
- don’t be afraid to acknowledge your successes
- reflect on the feedback you receive and think about what you have done well and how you could improve - you could keep all your feedback together and draw up an action plan based on common areas of strength or concern
- try not to focus on the mark and ignore the feedback. If you have done well, your feedback will tell you why and if you haven’t, it will suggest ways in which you can improve
- if you are disappointed in your mark, give yourself some time before going back to the feedback to look for ways to improve
- try not to take negative feedback personally. It is given to help you improve
- don’t be afraid to approach tutors and lecturers for more feedback. Asking questions can be an important part of receiving feedback
- where possible, use feedback to self-assess your work against the assessment criteria. This can help you to address any areas you need to improve on.
Using the following framework might help you:
- what are the main points in the feedback?
- which aspects of work attracted positive feedback?
- which aspects of work attracted negative feedback?
- what can be done to improve work in the future that builds on positive feedback?
- what can be done to improve work in the future that addresses critical feedback?
- any other thoughts?
