Application of feedback from assignment 2
Assignment 2 Feedback Addressing the feedback
From reading your discussion
postings to the forums, it was
clear that you had engaged
with the content, and had
considered the impact of
these on the classroom. I
found your discussion postings
to be thoughtful, however at
times I was hoping that you’d
be a little more precise in your
analysis of the issues, though I
understand that this can be
tough with the word count
you have available. I
appreciated the fact that your
posts became more precise
and targeted as they
progressed, adhering more
closely to the word
recommendations.
Evidence of feedback integration
In this assignment, I focused on
keeping my responses to the
discussion posts more direct and
within the wordcount. I focused
on using research to specifically
help me address each question
and used literature to help me
analyse each aspect of the
question more thoroughly. As I
was writing, I worked on being
specific with how I was writing
and referring to the literature to
support each idea.
It’s great to see that you’ve
responded to your peer’s
thoughts with comments on
their blogs. Remember to use
research consistently to
support your comments on
your peer’s blogs, as this adds
to the depth of analysis that
you can provide.
During weeks 5-10 I focused on
finding research that supported
the ideas my peers shared, and
used this research to extend on
their thinking. Through using
research, I was able to develop
my own ideas further in relation
to what had been shared on the
discussion board and provide
another point of view backed by
research.
Be sure to read the
assignment description and
marking rubrics carefully when
you are preparing your work
to ensure that you include all
necessary aspects. For
example, in the week 2 activity
you were missing the
explanation and week 3 and 4
were missing. It’s really
important to check to see that
you have everything listed in
the unit outline before you
submit.
Your reflective piece was well
put together; however, I
found your links to research to
be a little vague at times. It’s
really important that you are
specific in your use of citations
to support your thinking.
I spent more time double
checking I had submitted all the
components for each week and
checked they were uploaded to
my website, so I did not forget to
insert tasks I had completed into
the correct weeks.
During the second half of the
semester, I focused on making
stronger and more direct links to
research to support my writing. I
worked on letting the research
inform my ideas and helping me
create stronger links in my
writing.
Your portfolio was well laid
out, however the navigation
was hard to operate.
I changed how the navigation of
my portfolio worked. I have
attempted to make it easy,
through the navigation for either
the weekly learning tasks, or
discussion posts to be viewed. I
have added an extra button into
each page to make the weekly
tasks more easily accessible after
having read the discussion posts,
and I have checked the dropdown
menus worked correctly. I
realised that these were not
always dropping down when the
site was accessed during weeks 1- Button added into each page to provide an extra navigation point.
4. I also changed the direction the
navigation menu buttons folded
out, to help with accessing each
page.
