Explain and illustrate the tutor’s comments on learner’s assignment responses and discuss how these comments are helpful for the learners.

It is widely acknowledged in academic circles that assessment is a fundamental component of the teaching and learning processes and as such it is currently receiving much attention on the national and international educational agendas. Following the seminal review of Black and Wiliam (1998), the profile of formative assessment has been significantly raised (Tierney, 2006). Black and Wiliam concluded that there were strong links between formative assessment and effective pedagogy, identifying that successful formative assessment involves:

• teachers sharing learning intentions with children

• pupils engaging in self-evaluation

• the provision of feedback which leads pupils to recognise the next steps and how to take them

• teachers being confident that every pupil can improve.

In such an assessment and feedback model, the engagement of the students is minimal. As illustrated by Figure 1, student engagement is very much dependent upon the individual who, having engaged in the set task, may choose to seek support from tutors or peers or may work entirely independently. The point is that there are no specific opportunities to engage students in self and peer assessment and, on receipt of written feedback, as illustrated by the model, it is anticipated that students reflect on feedback.

The model in which we were immersed was very much tutor-driven

Tutors in higher education today are encouraged to ensure that appropriate feedback is provided to students on assessed work in a way that promotes learning and facilitates improvement. Considered guidance is provided on how this may be achieved, for example concerning the effective use of comments on returned work relating to criteria and the role of oral feedback. it was recognised that feedback and assessment were important in helping students to progress and learn from their mistakes, fewer than half the students responding to a survey were satisfied with the feedback they got from __________ ____ _______ __________ ______ _______ _____ _________ _______ _________ _______ ________.
