Food for Thought: engaging with feedback

Abstract

We are striving to improve our feedback provision, but feedback can only be effective if students actually engage with the process, reflect upon the advice they have been given and act upon it. This session will introduce the Food For Thought project currently being piloted in the School of Life Sciences, which aims to promote student engagement with feedback. A Pebble Pad template has been produced and students have been asked to complete the template whenever they receive feedback on their work. The template gives the students the opportunity to reflect upon and respond to their feedback. At the end of the year, students will be asked to complete a second template, giving a final reflection on all the feedback they have received and any changes that they have made based on the feedback.

If successful, it is hoped that the template could be incorporated as one of the ILM activities.
