Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This resource is an executive summary of a key literature review that focuses on student feedback; a companion piece on teaching evaluation will also be produced as part of the initiative outputs. The author hopes that the review will also prove to be a useful resource for those working in related fields. The project also developed a series of how-to guides to provide practical advice on a range of feedback approaches to staff and students. The complete literature review is also available in the supplementary files.
