Effective feedback and marking
Ensuring the feedback you give to students is effective is an important element of clinical education.
We have provided 2 videos regarding this topic; video 1 discusses delivering effective feedback and video 2 relates feedback specifically to the marking criteria at Coventry University. This is vital in helping students understand how to progress and also how theirs grades are decided.
