Discussion question · 10 marks
Select one student script that you have recently graded. Analyze your original feedback: if a student were to apply it exactly as written, would they be able to improve their mark in a subsequent assessment? Based on the MastaLearn criteria for 'actionable feedback,' rewrite your comments to ensure they map explicitly to at least two syllabus assessment objectives. Present your 'before' and 'after' feedback, explaining the pedagogical rationale for the changes and how this illustrates your readiness for the portfolio defense.
