Improving Marking Efficiency and Engineering Undergraduate Feedback with Innovative Software Tools Barry J Beggs, Elaine M Smith & Allan Pellow

Important Elements of the Student Experience

Using Feedback to Enhance Learning and Reflecting students need to take ownership of their own learning and to develop reflective thinking students complain that they do not get enough feedback or that the feedback comes when it is too late

Methodology Employed in Software Development analyse the conventional hand written feedback of lecturers develop and then use a software tool to re-mark the same batch of student work redeveloped based on evaluation

Analysis of Hand Written Marking

Development of the Software Tool Create marking categories to include in marking schedules Develop a database of re usable comments for each marking category Allow the editing and addition of free text

Project Interim Report Marking Categories ID Title Mark ID Title Mark 1 Presentation of Report 204 Self Organisation and Time Management 20 2 Critical Evaluation of Progress 205 Motivation, Initiative and Adaptability 20 3 Identification of Problem Areas and Solutions 206 Supervisor Comments 0

The feedback comments can align with the QAA engineering benchmark statements Text Order It was clear that your report is very well presented with no errors. Excell ent Your report was well presented with few errors. Good Your report was reasonably presented but had some errors. You can learn how to improve your presentation skills by consulting the project handbook or at: Thres hold Unfortunately your report was not very well presented. You should make an attempt to improve this before you write your final year project report. Advice is available from the project handbook or at Below Thres hold

Conclusions and Observations Hand written comments created by a lecturer provide accurate feedback that can be finely tuned to convey appropriate detail and level of importance Bespoke software tools have the potential to improve the consistency, quality, quantity and efficiency of providing feedback to students
