The immediate and positive feedback provided on assignments/projects is an important factor in student success. Feedback should be:
- Connected to learning objectives as well overall SLOs for the course. Connecting a rubrics to it is an interesting thought and one that I may pursue later.
- Frequent as applied to assignments, projects, and online responses
- Positive in tone-negative comments or tones will discourage the student
- Responses should be automatic or within a 48 hour period if at all possible.
- Feedback should be provided in a variety of ways such as:
- written peer or instructor feedback on assignments, projects, discussions, etc.
- auditory during synch instruction
- visual during synch instruction or written
- Individualized feedback is essential to making sure that the student understands that the instructor is evaluating or reviewing their work and not someone elses.
- Specific and detailed-instructors should gather specific or detail examples of the student work. In our case we use measurements when inspecting a students project that they made in class. Comments or questions we have are directed to them specifically regarding the projects and/or assignment. This the same whether it is online or face to face instruction.
Providing feedback to students is critical at this time. It is also important to create feedback for yourself and peers as a support network.
Providing feedback goes deeper than simply assigning a grade and the type of feedback to be given will vary depending on the nature of the assignment being discussed
Providing feedback that is effective and meaningful to each student is crucial their learning. As teachers it is vital that we provide feedback that each of our students can take to improve upon their learning when necessary.
Meaningful feedback increases the student's knowledge of the subject matter. Formative and summative assessments should be used.
Feedback strikes me as a good way to energize the class. Summative and formative assessments are important. But using the tools described in this information, a rubric may be a fair way to assess individuals/groups and peer functions.
I will continue to use rubrics within my curriculum of grading, but I will improve the student's access to it. I like the idea.
Assessment is key to improved learning and I will now add peer-assessment.
Feedback is important for students.
This was mostly a review, I did learn that fomative assesments are to assess progress.
Feedback is crucial in establishing what the instuctor wants from the student. If there is no communication, attrition could take place.
As an earlier poster commented, I didn't necessarily learn something "new". I definitely needed to be reminded of the importance of rubrics and of giving the opportunity for students to use them to self-assess before turning in projects/presentations for a final grade. I wil comment too that teaching virtually will now eliminate an issue I have of running out of time to do an exit ticket.
Rubrics, assessments and feedback are essential to learning.
Providing feedback is essential to assisting online students in correcting errors in their writing.
Rubrics should be clear and explained along with the project instructions for understanding. Peer and Self assessments are opportunities to learn from others, view mistakes as an opportunity to make changes and provide for a transfer of learning to future projects. Feedback should be communicated as information to increase learnng, not to justify a grade.
To be consistant with grading or assessments the Rubric is the best. Student self assessment is the best way for the student to truly understand how they are doing in the class. It aslo helps the instructor how to approach methods of helping the student improve.
The importance of a well thought out rubric.
When the feedback is connected to the learning objectives and meaningful feedback is provided to the students, learning is improved.
I need more practice with using self and peer evaluations. The maturity of my students makes this difficult. I am going to try to work this into my feedback cycle more
I learned that teachers should give feedback after each assessment. This gives the students an opportunity to make a connection with the teacher and the assignment.
I love the idea of providing screencasted feedback. It is important to tie feedback to the learning objectives and to keep feedback positive. The rubric should tell them about the grae.
