After a delay of many weeks, the assignment is returned with a grade or mark, which may not meet expectations.
This may lead to frustration, disappointment, regret, and sometimes confusion after having spent many hours of hard work on the project.
In managing the process of dealing with feedback, some tips and strategies are suggested to help you gain the most from the experience
So, before reading assignment feedback, try to keep the following in mind:
• Being a student is a learning experience, which offers its own unique lessons of personal discovery for each individual participant.
• Mistakes are not mistakes, in the conventional sense, but opportunities to learn.
• Constructive criticism leads to opportunities for improvement. (Without feedback, how can anyone progress and improve?)
• Each person enters university from a different cultural background, with different expectations, and with varying and diverse levels of prior participation in education
• The mark or grade awarded is the judgement of one individual, within a specifi c cultural and historical context.
• The mark or grade is based on one piece of work within the entirety of a person’s life, which does not refl ect or acknowledge the management of all other tasks and commitments achieved.
