Strategy 3

 

Feedforward and feedback

So far, we have outlined two effective feedforward strategies that includes teaching students to analyse the task and teaching the genre and structure of your assessment task.

The third strategy is to use Academic and Communication skills rubrics as a pre-teaching tool for what is expected and a feedback mechanism, post-assessment. More information on how to use the rubrics can be found at Using rubrics.

 

The graphic for Strategy 3 depicts two arrows pointing inwards towards each other. The arrow pointing right illustrates feedforward, and the arrow pointing left illustrates feedback. These arrows contain the following text:
