The Discovery of the problem
The problem referred to was discovered during the marking of the Advocacy module in 2019.

Reflection and Development of work following Feedback
After reviewing the feedback I was given on my feedback I decided to make some changes to my existing practice ahead of the next module I taught. It was pointed out to me that my comments did not link to the assessment criteria or learning objectives. I therefore decided to redesign my feedback sheets to incorporate explicit reference to the assessment criteria so that students could see exactly where their work was strong and in which areas improvement was required.

Virtual Observation on My Feedback Methods
As part of my course I was given some feedback on my feedback! This was very instructional and it highlighted a gap in my feedback practice which really needed to be addressed.
