2.9 What type of assessment feedback will I receive?

Students will be given feedback on how well they have performed on each assessment task. This can take the form of marks, teacher comments, description of the competencies achieved by the student, description of what was not achieved or areas that may need improvement. The type of assessment task conducted will determine the nature of the feedback.

A student can only query the marks awarded and tallied by a teacher for an individual assessment task at the time the task is returned. Every student should reflect upon and analyse the feedback they receive in order to assist their understanding of the concepts examined in the task. Remember that the main purpose of assessment is to improve learning.
