A series of surveys have been conducted in both institutions in order to get a better understanding of students’ and tutors’ attitudes to feedback in general, and how they perceive different modes of sharing feedback on assignments.

The following provisional summaries are already available, although further analysis is currently taking place and will be publicised in due course:
