The feedback provided to students is very explicit and it is clear the marker spends a lot of time providing constructive and clear feedback for all students on areas they have done well as areas for improvement. Those students who scored low marks generally struggled to complete the SMART goals and difficult to conceptualise and articulate the objectives along with generally low academic skills. However, some students clearly enjoyed this course and they produced some excellent health Promotion activities that were well thought out and well researched’.
