Feedback is essential for student learning. It is the dialogue that students have with their tutors, fellow students and others about their work. To be successful feedback requires action by both tutors and students.
Principles of Good Feedback Practice
In 2008 Senate agreed 12 principles of good assessment and feedback. Applying these principles has led to dramatic learning improvements in classes at the university. Success depends on you adapting these principles to suit your disciplinary context. Find out more about the 12 principles.

We are also creating a range of feedback and assessment resources for students. More information can be found on the Student Assessment and Feedback pages.
