Formative Assessment and Feedback

Formative Assessment and Feedback

Summative tasks must be supported by formative assessment tasks in modules (including at least one per level that is formally submitted via Blackboard) which provide an early opportunity for feedback. Formative assessment must be an integral part of assessment design and always taken into consideration when determining the assessment package (see Summative Assessment Tasks and Tariff) and students' assessment load. Formative assessment tasks should contribute to student success in summative assessments, creating an effective and efficient assessment package in relation to student and staff workloads.
