Exploring timeliness, positivity and collection rates of TMA feedback

This project is designed to extend the recently concluded project “Improving student use of feedback on marked TMAs” to analyse in more detail three areas.  The aim and the sub questions we will seek the answers to are set out below.

Aim: Explore feedback collection rates and factors which they correlate with

• Does timeliness of marking impact the feedback collection rate or timing?
• Is there a relationship between scores in subsequent TMAs and collection of feedback?
• Is there an overlap between the relationships found, for example do we see a relationship between lower collection rate and poor performance because these students also have extensions?

We will analyse data using SAS for all undergraduate modules and over a number of years based on the university data which already exists.
