What to expect from feedback on problem sheets: Where a question or part of a question is completed well there will be a tick and at least a one word written comment to indicate the level of achievement. Where a mistake is made the point where the work goes wrong will be clearly marked and a written comment will explain why it is incorrect and what the consequences are of this error. Where appropriate, suggestions for improvements could be made. Homework feedback form Feedback on problem sheets during lectures Solution Sheets
