Dear all
Another request for information please! There was very limited discussion
of this earlier this year but I would like to know what other institutions
do about providing feedback on exam scripts to students. Departments at
Newcastle currently provide feedback in general terms but this is not done
systematically and marked exam scripts are not returned or seen by students,
and remain the property of the University. A University Working Party is
considering what might be possible to provide, bearing in mind the
requirements of the Data Protection Act and the likelihood of increasing
requests from students now that it is possible for them to have seen their A
Level scripts. Do others, for example, ask staff to give a separate comment
sheet to students with a breakdown of the marks achieved for different
questions?
I'd be very grateful for responses and will summarise them if there are
enough.
Many thanks
