Comments from a student whose marks were above expectation

This student said that this was his/her first assignment in science (coming from a psychology background) and that predicting the mark was difficult but was pleasantly surprised with the mark of 62%.

S/he generally agreed with the marker's comments but said that no positive comments were made - [apart from 45 ticks!]. S/he has learned much from the feedback and if writing the essay again would pay attention to all the comments. On a general point, the student felt that s/he needed to make sure that his/her essays answer the question thoroughly in future, saying:

"I think that feedback is a really important tool in helping students improve their work ... this exercise has been extremely useful in making me think about my work."

"Such an exercise would have been beneficial if carried out earlier in the course or even throughout the course. Students would take more notice of feedback and use it to improve their work."

"Tutors need to provide students with more comprehensive feedback."
