Dear Sally and others,
I agree that feedback should be specific to the discipline/subject/module/assignment, etc. It might be helpful, though, to offer other colleagues (whose area of specialism isn't learning and teaching) a template that they could adapt to these contexts, meeting the following criteria:
1. captures any administrative detail
2. allows for adaptation to specific contexts
3. presents assignment criteria clearly to students, and offers feedback against these
4. offers an opportunity for students to see what they've done well, as well as where they need to improve
5. records other opportunities/modes of feedback (e.g. oral/tutorials, in-session generic feedback to the group)
6. offers students an opportunity to reflect on their learning and consider how they will act on the feedback in future.
Just some thoughts some of us at Bath Spa have been working on - I don't take the credit! Of course, there is also the question of how to do this with electronic/online feedback as well.
Any other 'criteria' that should be added? Or any that should be removed?

Hi Ruth
I feel quite strongly that it's great to have a variety of forms and would argue against having one generic one,. In my view, what works best is ensuring there is a core of common stuff (e.g. contact details etc, then the assignment brief and marking criteria for that particular assignment, then the customised sections where you can link the assignment and marking criteria to the work that has been submitted. What do others think?
Best wishes
Sally

Subject: Samples of marking rubrics and feedback forms
Dear all,
I am involved in running a workshop on Monday, one output of which (we hope :)) will be a new marking rubric and feedback form.
Currently the department uses an amazing variety of forms, which are confusing for the students – and not always particularly useful.
I would be grateful to all of you who have samples of such forms if you would share them with me. The first part of the activity is to look at a variety of such forms to decide on what are the most important elements that such a common form would contain.
I look forward to a flurry of emails! I hope you have a good evening.
