I liked the information about formative feedback and summative feedback. I am placed in an interesting position where my university wants us to use formative feedback but the only place where real feedback happens is in the grading process. We have development sessions on how to do formative feedback and it is all good, but it is integrated with the grade assignment.
Based on these section that type of feedback should be summative. What is really being said in my past training applied to meaningful feedback and the points about formative were good, but seem to be misplaced. I always wondered how to include formative feedback in the grading process and now it seems more clear, that is really the place for summative feedback.
I think I will reevaluate the feedback process in my class and explore how formative feedback can actually be given in the structure of the courses in which I am required to operate.
