10. Negotiating Assessment
 Four factors affecting feedback through
assesmentThe extent which students are aware of the
criteria being used
The relative emphasis given to what they have
achieved as compared with what they have failed
to achieved
Whether or not they believe that they can act on the
basis of the feedback in away that solves a recognised
problem
The coincidence between what the feedback focuses
upon and what the students have recognised as
particuraly difficult to them

Syllabus
