Get Your Students Hired
It is critical to match feedback methods to the nature of the assignment. Discussion Boards demand a much different approach to feedback than do individual assignments. Different formats, such as with a PowerPoint project, will also require different feedback (comments on the layout/format of the file in addition to writing skills and task completion).
Kerri,
Thanks again for your input on this forum. The part about defending their answer is so important. Many students need practice in this area.
Absolutely agree. Discussion Forums require students to apply learned material to facilitate classmates and challenge or defend their positions. The feedback provided for this type of assignment is much different than and Individual Project or Group Project. group Projects are dependent on the group members and feedback may vary among the group members in relation to their individual efforts.
Thanks!
Jesse,
You are correct. Matching the feedback and the assignment are essential. Using rubrics to do this will be beneficial to you and your students.
Thanks.
