By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Keep students task-focused: Understand how feedback impacts student psychology, and learn to deliver comments that prevent emotional reactions and keep students focused on improving their work rather than comparing themselves to peers.
2. Make feedback "detective work": Implement practical strategies that move beyond giving complete solutions, prompting students to actively locate and fix their own mistakes.
3. Shift the cognitive load: Evaluate and adjust your marking practices to follow the fundamental rule that feedback must cause thinking and always require more effort from the student than it did from the teacher.
4. Build a sustainable feedback routine: Implement a balanced assessment diet—such as the "four quarters marking" approach—using whole-class, peer, and self-assessment to maximize student learning while keeping your workload manageable.
