Happy New Year All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As the new teaching semester approaches I want to remind you all about keeping up to date with student feedback and also managing student expectations I this regard. We have had some complaints in semester 1 about this and would like to minimise
these in semester 2. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Normally the students will expect feedback within 15 working days (typically 3 weeks, but could be more over the holidays). This is what module evaluations surveys state.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Also on expectation management I suggest including a statement about the types of feedback that students will receive in the class. This could be at the top of the Myplace page and an example is as follows (add and subtract things relevant for
your class, or make your own up) :</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">You will receive feedback on your performance in this class. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">
</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">The types of feedback (as defined by the University) available are as follows<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">
</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">1. Online feedback on the answers to the online quizzes.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">
</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">2. Marks for online quizzes and assessments.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">
</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">3. Verbal answers to student questions in lectures and tutorials.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">
</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">4. Verbal guidance on work that you are doing in any face to face tutorials that we have.</span></h4>
