We have advice on how to get the most out of tutor feedback, out of peer feedback and out of the feedback you generate yourself when you engage in learning activities.
What is feedback?
- Feedback is information about your work that is used to make improvements
- Feedback comes from tutors, from fellow students, from yourself or from others
- It might involve written comments, a discussion or your own analysis of your work
- Effective learners seek out feedback from many sources
- How useful feedback is depends on what you do with it.
Why is feedback important?
- Feedback from the tutor helps you to identify strengths and weaknesses in your work and make improvements
- Generating feedback on your own work enables you to develop as an independent learner
- Feedback from peers can enrich the information you receive about your work
- Giving feedback to others develops your skills in making professional judgments
- Being able to evaluate the quality of your own work, and the work of others, is an essential skill for all graduates.
