We will discuss different feedback methods and approaches and marking considerations that you can use in your practice, as well as guidance on how to gather feedback to evaluate your own teaching.

On completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify features of effective formative and summative assessment
- Select a range of appropriate formative assessment methods
- Assess the effectiveness of a range of feedback approaches
- Evaluate own teaching based on student feedback
