  3. Evaluating student response to EMI feedback • Stage 1 students in School of Biomedical Sciences (~360 students) are assessed by EMI questions • Historically students got instant feedback at the end of online EMI tests (using in-house system) • Under exam conditions – not allowed to take questions and answers away • No past-papers
