Formative
Feedback
There will be an
opportunity for formative feedback during the semester. You are advised to
start working on this assignment as early as possible so that you can seek
clarification from the module tutor regarding any questions you might have
during the semester. Note that tutors will not predict your grade, and you
should not take the lack of comment on any aspect of your work as indicating
that it is correct. You should make every effort to take advantage of formative
feedback as tutors will not comment on draft work at other times. Remember that
you will get more useful feedback from us by asking specific questions.
