STUDENTS NEEDED MORE HELP
They weren't clear on the area of study
No formative feedback was given to help them gauge their progress
Much of their study was out of context
Feedback early would allow them to reflect and apply changes looking forward (Quinton 2010)
Most well constructed comments could be applied as feed forward information (Koen 2012)
A SOLUTION
Study a specific set of circumstances in a case study
Real situations experienced in the trade
A guide towards content that does fit with the marine environment
To provide a platform from which the student and teacher are able to work together to assist learning prior to summative assessment (Boud 1995)
An opportunity to reflect on feedback with timeliness (Quinton 2010
