Abstract

Curriculum and Pedagogy

student engagement

assessment feedback

Student engagement with assessment feedback is regarded as essential to learning and teaching practice at university, but feedback that is presented to students in written-only form often fails to engage students or support their learning. One of the main problems with assessment feedback that is transmitted to students in written form is that students do not fully grasp the learning purpose of the feedback process. This paper presents findings on students' perceptions offeedback and how those perceptions were impacted through participation in the FFF strategy in the course COR109 Communication and Thought at the University of the Sunshine Coast. This strategy offers a 10 minute individual consultation for every student with their tutor to discuss feedback related to their first major piece of assessment, thereby changing the feedback process from a linear to transactional process.
