Feedback

Feedback gives you information on your coursework or exam performance, as part of the assessment process.

Formative feedback gives you commentary on the quality of your work, without it affecting your final grade for the module. Summative feedback gives you a mark that counts towards the grade. Often you will receive both forms of feedback for a given piece of coursework.
