Grading and giving feedback

Providing timely, high-quality feedback and assessment results are instrumental in supporting student learning and improvement. In this section, you will find guidance on designing effective assessment rubrics and actionable feedback.

  • Assessment rubrics

    An assessment rubric is a criteria-based marking tool. Rubrics give students clarity on what is expected and build students’ self-efficacy.

  • Feedback loops

    Feedback loops refer to the ongoing circular relationship in which a student produces an artefact or performs a task, teaching staff provides constructive feedback and the student then applies this input in an effort to improve their performance and skills.
