Getting and using feedback is a vital step in the process of completing an assignment.
It is not always comfortable to receive but it is vital to use feedback to ensure that you improve your work.
Understand the marking criteria
Understand the marking criteria
Your feedback will include a marking criteria. This indicates where your work fits in the different requirements of the criteria against which it is being assessed. The marking criteria for each assignment can be different, so make sure you know where you find the marking criteria for your assignment and read it carefully.

A tool to help you understand what is required of you.
An starting point for a conversation with your tutor about how to improve your work.
A means to help you reflect and think positively about which skills or knowledge need development.
Feedback is not...
Feedback is not...
A comment on every part of your work. Feedback will provide comments on elements of work done well and elements to improve.
A justification for your mark. The mark is what the piece of work has achieved. Feedback is a tool to help you develop.
How to receive feedback
Feedback is far more important than the mark, because feedback tells you how to develop and improve. When you get feedback, make sure that you:
Engage with it. While it is not always easy to get feedback it is useful.
Use it as an opportunity. Good feedback should make you aware of what you have done well, and give you an idea of some things you can do to improve further. Make a list of what you did well - and celebrate your success. Make another list - a to do list - out of the actions you can take to improve.
Talk to your tutor. Do not understand the feedback? Chat to your tutor about it. They will be able to clarify.
How to give feedback
You will often need to give feedback during your studies. This may be during group work or in seminar discussions. When you give feedback, make sure that you:
Are positive. Feedback is not the same as criticism. Feedback should help the recipient understand what was good as well as what could have been better.
Are NOT personal. Feedback is about the work - not about the person.
Invite conversation. The best feedback is the start of a conversation, to gain insight on different views or approach.
The TAG structure is helpful:
tell them something good
ask a question
give advice
