1. The document summarizes a workshop on curriculum design, assessment and feedback that used interactive activities and worksheets to prompt reflection and discussion. 2. Participants worked in groups to identify objectives and map principles from prompt cards onto a student timeline to develop plans for addressing assessment and feedback. 3. Groups then shared their outputs and plans with the whole workshop, providing examples of objectives and ideas around dissertation standards, feedback methods, and student engagement.
