SUMMARYAND YOURCOMMENTS OFTHE BLOG INYOUR OWNWORDS |
The blog discusses the importance and significance of formative feedback for it focuses on explaining and highlighting that it is important in a student’s life and academic growth as well as its difference from summative feedback or final grades. The blog highlights the advantages of formative feedback as well as different ways through which feedback can be provided to the student based on the draft of the assignment in order to maintain improvement and progress before final submission. |
The blog provided me with the major understanding regarding formative feedback, which earlier was considered general feedback that lecturers provided us based on the draft we provided. After completing the block, I found that formative feedback plays a significant role in the progress of an assessment or assignment and assist us in making better progress. It helps us in developing our knowledge, monitor our performances, analyze our strengths and weaknesses as well as develop an assignment which is accurate and strong enough to provide us with good grades. After reading the blog, I find this particular blog very interesting and helpful as it helps us understand the importance of formative feedback in academic progress of a student. |

SUMMARY ANDYOUR COMMENTSOF THE BLOG INYOUR OWNWORDS |
The blog is based on the transition of a student’s life into a lecture where a case study of one of the students of LSST is discussed as he becomes a lecturer in the same school. The blog discusses about how life changes after graduation and serves as a transition point in an individual’s life. It guides about the LST’s graduate trainee lecturer scheme through which the fellow student became the lecturer and remained connected to the Academy. The block according to my perspective provides knowledge on how remaining connected to LSSt will provide an opportunity to sustain employability and success in career. The information provided in the blog is helpful enough as it encourages student to remain connected to the school believe in themselves as well as seek career in higher education. |
