2Rationale
- This workshop is about making feedback work for
us and for our students. The UK National Student
Survey of 2005-7 shows that the areas where
students are least satisfied with their
experience of higher education are feedback and
assessment. In particular, they dont seem to get
enough formative feedback, and it is not helping
them as much as it should. - The problem has grown more significant as class
sizes have increased.
3Whats wrong with formative feedback?
- It can be too late. It can demotivate students
instead of motivating them. It can take too much
of our time, and yet students may take little
notice of it. Too often, it can be feedback only,
rather than also being feed-forward. This
workshop aims to work out how we can give more
and better feedback to more students in less
time! Not least, we need to step back and change
some of our systems to address the problems we
have with managing feedback to students,
especially in the context of large classes.
4Exploring feedback to students
- In this workshop, well review a wide range of
feedback methods, so that you can make your
feedback more effective, less time-consuming, and
more suitable to evidence the high quality of
your teaching to those looking for such evidence.
- We will think about the pros and cons of
paper-based, word-processed, and electronically
delivered feedback, in terms of the learning
payoff which students derive from feedback, and
the efficiency for us in providing it for them.
We will also explore how best we can find out
from our students how our feedback is working for
them they know.
5Intended learning outcomes
- After participating in this workshop, you should
be able to - Regard feedback to students as the lifeblood of
successful learning - In the context of large classes, give more
students better feedback in less time! - See how we can give students useful feedback
within 24 hours of them doing some work, and mark
their work in a third of the time it used to take
us! - Find out from your students more about how your
feedback is working for them.

12Introductory task
- On a post-it, please write your own short
completion of - getting feedback to my students would be much
better for me if only I - Please swap post-its until you dont know whose
you have. - If asked, read out with passion and drama whats
on the post-it you now have. - Finally, please stick all the post-its up as
directed.
13Using post-its to find out students real
intended learning outcomes
14Post-its
- A small, equal opportunities,
- non-threatening space.
- Just about everyone is willing to jot something
down on a post-it in answer to a question,
whereas they may not offer a spoken answer to a
question, or write responses on a blank sheet of
paper. - Post-its allow everyone the same opportunity to
respond, including the quiet or shy students. - Post-its can be swapped, and students can read
out someone elses ideas, in the relative comfort
of anonymity.
15Finding out where a group is starting from
- Post-its are particularly useful for open-ended
questions, such as economics would be much
better for me if only I - Responses can be posted on a flipchart or wall,
and used as an exhibit. - They can be photocopied and returned to students.
- Post-its can be a fast way of finding out what
the real intended learning outcomes are for a
group. - They can also provide a measure of the learning
incomes of the group.
16Five factors underpinning successful learning
- Please see the slide sequence on the downloads
page of my website ripples model, for the full
story (all this is written up in detail in
Chapters 2 and 3 of Making Learning Happen
(2005)). - Today, well just look at a few slides from this
sequence, then get on to look at the place that
feedback plays in successful learning.

18Task who said this?
- Everything should be made as simple as possible,
- but not simpler.
- (Jot your answer down anywhere
just guess). - (Albert Einstein, 1879-1955).
19Timing of feedback is critical
- Feedback only really works after weve got
students to do something. - Feedback on something theyve actually done is
far more powerful than feedback on something
theyve merely thought.
20Five factors for successful learning
- learning by doing
- learning from feedback
- wanting to learn
- needing to learn
- making sense - getting ones head round it
digesting
21Traditional views...
- active experimentation
- concrete experience
- reflective observation
- abstract conceptualisation
22Is it a cycle?
Active Experimentation

Reflective Observation
23Coffield et al on Kolb
- Kolb clearly believes that learning takes place
in a cycle and that learners should use all four
phases of that cycle to become effective... But
if Wierstra and de Jongs (2002) analysis, which
reduces Kolbs model to a one-dimensional bipolar
structure of reflection versus doing, proves to
be accurate, then the notion of a learning cycle
may be seriously flawed.
24Coffield et al on Kolb
- Finally, it may be asked if too much is being
expected of a relatively simple test which
consists of nine (1976) or 12 (1985 and 1999)
sets of four words to choose from. What is
indisputable is that such simplicity has
generated complexity, controversy and an enduring
and frustrating lack of clarity. - Frank Coffield, David Moseley, Elaine Hall and
Kathryn Ecclestone (2004) Learning styles and
pedagogy in post-16 learning a systematic and
critical review London, Learning Skills

32Smarter teaching
- - tuning in everything we do when we teach to
these five factors.
33Teaching smarter we need to
- Strive to enhance our students want to learn
- Help students to develop ownership of the need to
learn - Keep students learn by doing, practice,
trial-and-error, repetition - Ensure students get quick and useful feedback
from us and from each other - Help students to make sense of what they learn.

34How not to give feedback
35Mark 30
- This essay is abysmal. There is no evidence
whatsoever that you (1) read and understood the
assignment topic with due care, (2)read the
accompanying guidelines, or (3) read anything at
all on the debate between legal moralism and
legal liberalism or any of the supplied notes
either. Hence the mark for this long, rambling
piece of work. Considerable work is required
for a pass standard or higher to be obtained.
36More
- I really can not pass this at all
- It completely fails to address the question
topic - It presents totally inadequate information
- It is basically an incoherent ramble.
- A waste of your time writing it, and mine reading
it. You could do so much better with some real
study of the material.
37Feedback, and
38Feedback (including feed forward) works well when
it
- Motivates students helps them to want to learn
- Helps students to identify what they need to do
next - Helps students to take action to improve their
learning - Helps students to make sense of what they are
learning - Helps them to make realistic evaluations of their
own abilities and achievements - Helps them to reflect on their past work in ways
they can use to improve their future work.

Feedback
39Feedback works badly when it
- Saps students confidence
- Directs students activities in inappropriate
directions - Fails to articulate with learning outcomes
- Fails to relate clearly to evidence of
achievement of the assessment criteria - Relates only to what is easy to assess rather
than what is at the heart of learning - Focuses on failings rather than achievements.
40Why does formative feedback cause us problems?
- If the issues surrounding giving feedback
effectively and efficiently were straightforward,
they would have been solved long ago! - Nevertheless, a growing body of research
indicates that giving effective feedback is the
most powerfully positive thing we can do to
foster and maintain student learning. - When we talk to unhappy students, minimal or
over-negative feedback is often the biggest
bugbear and the NSS bears out that this is
widespread at present.
41Auditing assessment and feedback
- We know from the NSS that weve got a problem
with assessment and feedback, and theres no
better time to start tackling it than now. - Theres too much summative assessment in our
systems, and not enough opportunity for
feed-forward. - We need to streamline assessment, and make the
feedback associated with assessment work better
for ourselves and for our students.
42Evidencing our good practice
- Feedback to students, when written (or
word-processed) is one of the most accessible
indicators of the quality of our teaching. - Such evidence is looked at very thoroughly by
external agencies, professional bodies, funding
council, external examiners. - And they usually talk to students, who know best
how well (or badly) our feedback actually works.
43Seven key questions about feedback
- What do we say to students about their work?
- How do we say it?
- Do they take any notice?
- How much does it help their learning payoff?
- How well does it relate to students evidence of
achievement of the intended learning outcomes? - How well does it help them to achieve their next
learning outcomes? - How efficient is it for us?
44Life is too short to
- Spend time and energy writing feedback which
wont actually be used by students (sometimes not
even collected by them) - Write feedback just for external examiners to
see. - Approach giving feedback only in the read-write
dimension, when many students gain more from it
through auditory, or visual, or kinaesthetic
channels. - (see Neil Flemings excellent (and free!) VARK
work on www.vark-learn.com).
45 How to give more and better formative feedback to
more students in less time!
46Feedback on paper
- Handwritten comments on returned assessed work
- Word-processed comments about assessed work, e.g.
front sheets and so on - Model answers
- Assignment return sheets
- Code letters or numbers written onto students
work - Word-processed overall reports on the work of a
class
47Face-to-face feedback
- Face-to-face to whole lecture groups
- Face-to-face to individual students
- Face-to-face to groups of students
48E-feedback and more
- Emailed comments on students individual work
- Overall comments delivered electronically through
a computer conference - Computer-delivered feedback
- Peer-group feedback associated with
peer-assessment - Feedback you give students who have self-assessed
their work.
49Individual task on ways of giving students
feedback
- Think of the main ways you give feedback to your
students. Think also of other ways they get
feedback without you being involved. - Privately, make a list of all these ways your
students get feedback on their learning. - Now continue by deciding where your choices go on
the matrix which follows

73Ten Concerns about exams
- These ten concerns are about time-constrained
unseen written examinations. - As we explore these, think of how other forms of
exam can get round some of these concerns... - open book
- open notes
- time unconstrained
- take-away
- in-tray
- multiple-choice
- others.
74Concerns about traditional exams
- They dont do much to increase the want to
learn. - They are not ideal occasions for
learning-by-doing. - The amount of feedback that students receive is
not optimal. - They dont do much to help students to make sense
of what they have learned.

75Concerns about traditional exams
- We mark them in a rush.
- Were often tired and bored when we mark them.
- Were not good at marking them objectively.
- They favour candidates who happen to be skilled
at taking exams. - They force students into surface learning, and
into rapidly clearing their minds of previous
knowledge when preparing for the next exam. - There are many important things which they dont
measure.
76Concerns about continuous assessment
- If students are under too much pressure, the want
to learn is damaged. - The range of learning-by-doing may be too narrow.
- Feedback may be eclipsed by marks or grades.
- Students may not have the opportunity to make
sense of the feedback they receive.

77Concerns about continuous assessment
- It may be hard to detect unwanted collaboration.
- Too much time may be involved in marking.
- Students may not be aware of the criteria used to
assess their work. - Students may get the balance wrong between
continuous assessment and exams. - Learning may become driven by assessment, and
students may only do those things that are
assessed. - Too little use may be made of the learning that
can be achieved when students assess their own,
and each others work.
78Finding out what works for students
79Making use of tutor feedback on your first essay
(start of a checklist from Chapter 5 of Making
Learning Happen
80Feedback without marks
- Marks often destroy the value of our feedback to
students!
81Feedback versus marks or grades
- Feedback may be eclipsed by marks or grades.
- Students may be blinded by the mark or grade, and
not even try to make sense of the feedback they
receive.
82Just a mark (or grade) is the least effective
form of feedback!
- Its what students look at first.
- If the mark is good, they smile and file quite
often they dont even read the feedback. - If its low, they frown and bin it very often
without reading the feedback.
83But there are ways round this...
- Give students back their work with feedback but
with no marks or grades (keeping your record of
their marks). - Ask them to work out their marks from the
feedback you have given them (and from the
feedback you gave to others too).
84Suggest that their marks will count!
- Tell them that if their self-assessment scores
are within (say) 5 of your own scores, the
higher number will go forward into their
assessment record. - But explain that you will talk individually to
those students whose score is different by more
than 5 from yours.
85Get them to self-assess...
- Collect their scores or grades e.g. pass a
sheet round in a lecture. - Most students (e.g. 9 in 10) will be within the
5. - Arrange to talk to those where the difference is
more than 5 or one grade.
86Students who under-estimate their grade
- These students often need their esteem boosted.
- Remind them about the assessment criteria, and
how these illustrate the intended standards
associated with the learning outcomes. - Check that they werent just trying not to be
seen as over-confident.
87Students who over-estimate their grade
- This usually indicates theyve got a blind spot.
- Talk them through their work, and find out
exactly where theyve lost marks which they
thought they had gained. - Check with them that they can now see what was
being looked for.
88Developing this idea further
- Think about getting students to indicate their
expected score or grade at the point of handing
their work in for example on a self-assessment
proforma. - Think about getting students to work out how well
they believe they have achieved each of the
intended learning outcomes for the work
concerned - Or how well they believe they have met each of
the assessment criteria for the work.
89Getting feedback to students quickly
- The next two slides are about a way of giving
students feedback on their work within 24 hours
of them doing it. - There are three or more yes, but what ifs with
this idea, but please hold these for a couple of
minutes.
90Speeding up marking by giving feedback at the
time of submission
- This is a suggestion regarding how we can give
very quick feedback to a large group of students
at the point of them submitting their work for
assessment. - For example, collect their work for marking at
the start of a whole-group session, then
immediately issuing a pre-prepared 1-sheet
handout to the class covering - Illustration of what is expected as evidence of
achievement of each of the intended learning
outcomes - Likely mistakes
- Features of a good answer
- Frequently needed explanations
- All the better if you can spend a few minutes
de-briefing the whole group and talking them
through the handout - adding tone-of-voice, facial expression, body
language, emphasis, and so on to the feedback.
91How this saves time
- Since many students will have done the work in
the last 24 hours before handing it in, youre
giving them feedback while they still remember
what they were doing. - You then waste far less writing the same old
things on one piece of work after another,
regarding frequently occurring mistakes - You can make your comments relate more to each
individual piece of work - This means when students get their marked work
back with feedback, they are more likely to use
it, as its personal to them. - Also, theyve by then already had the chance to
make sense of their own piece of work in the
light of the generic feedback you gave them when
they handed it in.
92Back to our intended outcomes
- Do you now feel better able to
- 2 hands very much better, one hand somewhat
better, no hands no better) - After participating in this workshop, you should
be able to - Regard feedback to students as the lifeblood of
successful learning? - Give more students better feedback in less time!
- See how we can give students useful feedback
within 24 hours of them doing some work, and mark
