This is the MBB Student Handbook for 2019-20, which has been superseded by this version: https://sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.uk/mbbhandbook20-21/home. Please update your bookmarks and let Rebecca know if you have got here from an old link that we need to update: r.barnes@sheffield.ac.uk.

Feedback at University can take many forms, including:

• a number grade

• informal verbal feedback from academics or demonstrators about your technical skills in the practical or computer labs

• written comments on an essay

• comments on a specimen paper answer

• group feedback on an assignment and the common pitfalls

• Comments on a project report or literature review draft

• tickboxes in a rubric

Sometimes the comments only concern this particular piece of work (for example, specific content mistakes). But most of the time they can be applied ("fed forward") to other, similar pieces of work. (I will add some more advice on how to do that here)
