Discussion question · 10 marks
Discuss how you can balance the requirement to be an objective examiner when marking a student's portfolio with the requirement to be a supportive mentor who provides constructive, feed-forward feedback. Provide a specific example of how you have handled this tension in your own practice, or how you intend to do so when grading your final portfolio submission.
