Abstract
It is widely recognised that providing consistent, meaningful feedback to students on assessment performance is not a simple task, particularly where a module is delivered by a team of staff. Typical student complaints about assessment feedback include: inconsistency of comment between lecturers; illegible handwriting; difficulty in relating feedback to assessment criteria; vague remarks. For staff themselves, there is the not insubstantial problem that written comments, to be of any benefit to students, are immensely time-consuming. This paper illustrates, through a case study, the enormous benefits to staff and students of using an Automated Assessment Feedback (AAF) system.
