Constructive Feedback

Workshop Description

Students tells us ‘…to get someone ... to actually sit down and properly listen to and give you genuinely informed feedback... it’s some of the best teaching I’ve had…’

And yet they also tell us that they do not receive enough of it and more importantly they fail to recognise or to remember the feedback that they are given. If you would you like to improved your feedback giving to students, then please come along to this workshop. This workshop will aim to introduce you to the basics in feedback theory and practice.
