personalizing feedback is important and help reaching each students learning needs.
Ensure that meaningful feedback is being provided during assessment of student work. Components of meaningful feedback include: connecting it to course objectives, having a positive tone, and providing individualized feedback.
There must be a balance of formative and summative assessments in courses because it provides students and professors with information about the learning occurring. Rubrics are excellent examples because they provide students with specific guidelines for assignments/projects. Moreover, they provide instructors with a way to measure student work against designated criteria and assign a point value to each standard. Additionally, the guidelines are provided to the students before the assessment is completed. Furthermore, instructors must give meaningful feedback that connects the learning objectives and is specific, detailed, individualized, and expressed in an appropriate manner and tone that provides students with information to help them increase their knowledge and/or skills.
I learned that feedback is vital for students.
Feedback is essential to the students' learning journey.
Self-assessment, before the final delivery of an assessment activity, seems like a very good tool for the student to continue learning. In addition, it is a tool that will help them grow as student and as person. When the group can responsibly self-assess, then I will take the next step: peer assessment
The importance in rubrics while grading assignments - also the importance of providing individual feedback to the students with a rationale in the discussion posts.
The Rubrics is a great way to provide feedback to students, provide a consistent grading system, due to the objectives that are established for all students.
Through this material I am reminded of the impact of our feedback throughout a course and how much time and attention it deserves. It can not only help the students learn but also help us form better relationships with out students.
Rubrics need to be tied to objectives and outline specific criteria
I learned that when developing rubrics to evaluate assignments, the most important components are criteria and objectives.
Feedback is essential to their learning process.
Immediate feedback is so important to the students. The longer it takes for a response there is loss of the student's train of thoughts and ideals. This could also lead to a loss of interest in the assignement.
Providing different forms for student communication is key along with providing feedback, having appropriate rubrics, and utiilzing assessments to benchmark student retention and participation.
I have used rubric to provied justification for grade and feedback. I am not sure if the two must be separated. This is also supported with other forms of feedback at the same time. I will use visual and audio feedback more often.
Including your insight as a Professor is essential as the students really could use the feedback as a way to alter or better understand the topic in question.
Feedback is key to helping students through online learning.
Without feedback, how do students learn and improve?
I like the idea of peer assessment. I typically utilize this assessment method in lab exercises, however, I can see how it might be useful in other learning environments as well.
I learned that students expect and deserve feedback from instructors. Feedback improves learning and helps students improve writing skills.
