Depth of feedback • Category 1: a tutor acknowledgement of an error, issue or problem, and draw the student’s attention to the weakness; • Category 2: acknowledge an error, issue or problem and provide a correct response or advice on seeking a correct response. • Category 3: acknowledgement of an error and correct response, the tutor comment also provides a reason why the student’s answer was inappropriate. There is an element of feed forward in category three comments.

Strategies for improvement • Train tutors to increase depth of feedback and instruct students in how to use this form of feedback. • Support students in understanding language of feedback • Model answers ??? Cumulative marking schemes ?? • Raise level of communication about feedback so that perceptions of tutors and students can be more closely aligned.
