Rethinking
Formative Feedback
 Challenges
 Lecturer's words & intended meaning.
 More focus on what should not be done
 Less emphasis on how they might improve
 Implementation
 Spent time with students assessing and evaluating
examples of reports from previous cohorts using
the grade-related criteria.
 Students

 had compared their evaluations with one another
and with the tutor’s assessment.

Please do not use ‘I’. Although the use of first
person pronoun is useful in your ‘reflective
summary’ section, you should not use it in this
academic essay. You can still be assertive and
direct without the use of ‘I’. See an example
below:
Original Sentence: I think that John’s (2016)
ethical arguments are logical and readily
applicable to contemporary cases, or at least it
seems that way to me.
Better example: John’s (2016) ethical arguments
are logical and readily applicable to
contemporary cases.

10. Wt is ur key
point here?
Wt is ur Key Point here?
The paragraph is too wordy. You have
lost me here. You need to clearly
explain the main point and convincingly
argue your case. Put your key point as
the ‘Topic Sentence’.

So What?
So What?
Good Quote. But you need to inform
the reader why you are using it here.

12. Evidence
Needed
Evidence Needed
It is an academic essay. Your arguments must be
based on empirical evidence, and not on
assumptions. Provide reference to support your
claim

more critical here?

This is critical writing. Well done !

16. + Do you agree with this view?
Do you agree with this view?
So? What is your view? Do you agree or
disagree? It is a good place to discuss this
issue. Expand how and why it is related to
Talent Management.

17. +
What do you conclude
from all of these?

18. +

“I found Paul’s feedback is very useful. His feedback directly
speaks to me in my language. Sometimes it tastes sweeter...
some other times it is bitter...but when you serve it like this,
it just tastes good.
Yours’ is one of the best feedbacks I have ever received”.
