The university's principles of feedback can be found at https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/apse/apo/quality/assessment/feedback
Feedback
Feedback exists in any process, activity or information that enhances learning by providing students with the opportunity to reflect on their current or recent level of attainment. It can be provided individually or to groups. It can take many forms. It is responsive to the developmental expectations of particular programmes and disciplines.
Formative feedback
This is “feedback for learning” and is provided during the module to help improve the way you learn and enhance future academic performance
Summative feedback
Summative feedback is “feedback on learning”. It gives an idea of what was done well or not so well in work already done and is often module-specific.
Principles
Student engagement with feedback is important
Students need to be aware of how to utilise both formative and summative feedback to develop their academic abilities.
Feedback is for learning
Students should seek formative feedback early on in the assessment process in order to ensure time for development of work if required.
Students should be able to obtain formative feedback on drafts in order to develop ideas further.
Formative and summative feedback should affirm what is positive and offer encouragement where improvement is needed.
Feedback may be given in a variety of forms this may be dependent on the module assessment and/or the needs of the student.
Opportunities for reflection on feedback should be provided if required by the student.
Summative feedback
Summative feedback should provide a justification for the grade awarded along with comments on strengths weaknesses and areas for improvement. In the case of a second attempt where the maximum grade awarded is 40 for undergraduate students or 50 for postgraduate taught students, you should be given an indication of the band in which the grade would have been if it was a first attempt.
Feedback is consistently delivered
Your feedback will be delivered in an accessible and consistent manner, and will relate to module assessment criteria and learning outcomes.
Feedback quality is maintained
The school will monitor student views on feedback and will ensure that which you receive is of good quality. Your student reps will be involved in the process of maintaining that quality.
NB: Students with special/mitigating circumstances for which the school has a record may have/make alternative arrangements for support.
The pass mark for undergraduate programmes (diploma, degree) is 40 on the 100 point scale.
The pass mark for postgraduate programmes (postgraduate diploma, Masters degree) is 50 on the 100 point scale.

If you need to take a leave of absence or withdraw from a module or programme you are advised to:
Discuss this with your academic tutor.
Check this is satisfactory with whoever is funding your study.
Email the Programme Lead stating that you are taking a leave of absence or withdrawing.
You are advised that failure to submit an assignment or writing to say that the assignment will not be submitted it's your responsibility to ensure the appropriate paper work is completed. Please visit this link for more information https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/new-students/immigration/during-study/change-status
Please see your programme handbook for information on how your classification is calculated.
If you successfully complete sufficient modules, you will receive a University Certificate/Diploma/Degree.
The Ceremonies Office use the address on your student record to contact you before the conferment ceremony. They will write to you giving you the option of either attending the ceremony or receiving your certificate through the post. The ceremonies take place in July and January, so it may be a substantial period of time after handing in your last piece of work before you hear anything.
It is therefore ESSENTIAL to ensure that we have your correct address. This must also be an address that will be safe to receive post for many months after you complete your course. If you think you might move, it might be a good idea to give the University a relative's or friend's address rather than your current address after your course is finished.
If you wish to ring the Ceremonies Office, the Student Enquires number is (0114) 222 8828.
