The principles of feedback are as follows:
- feedback should be provided in a timely manner that helps students understand (i) the marks or grades they have received for work submitted and (ii) how they might improve their performance in the future;
- feedback should be as personal as possible to the individual student to enable reflection on individual skills and performance;
- students have a responsibility to consider feedback given on their work, to seek to understand it, and to act on it.
