A paper presented at the HEA Annual Conference 2007.
Student dissatisfaction with feedback has been a prominent feature of the National Student Survey for the past two years. In the 2006 survey 49% of respondents said that feedback was slow and unhelpful prompting Bill Rammell the Higher Education Minister to say in response that he hoped institutions would 'look long and hard at assessment and feedback' (Shepherd THES 2006).
