Scheduling Feedback and Assessment Conversations: | Based on the Tutor Case schedule where assessment due dates are noted, please arrange a time with each learner individually for a feedback conversation. Ideally a private location if face to face, allot 15 to 20 minutes for the conversation, review notes you may have taken during tutorials, take time to prepare for the conversation and implement effective feedback strategies when speaking with your learner. |
