Use the resources below to turn your feedback into action, and ultimately improve your skills for your next assignment.
Your lecturers will provide both positive and critical feedback. Generally, the positive feedback is easy to understand, but sometimes the critical feedback can be unclear or can use terminology that is not so easy to understand. Try to identify the main points in the feedback and think about what your tutor actually means. This can be challenging as your tutor may be using phrases and words that you may not fully understand to begin with.

But your feedback may also indicate where you are in relation to your learning goals and objectives, any gaps that you may have in your knowledge and understanding, misconceptions that you may have regarding core theoretical concepts, or gaps in certain practical skills.
Feedback is an essential component of effective learning
