“I don’t understand the written feedback, or even if I’m supposed to. In past years, I have been happy to accept this situation, but more recently I have learned to ask for verbal feedback to help improve my work. It would be better if the feedback was verbal or demonstrated, especially since we’re training to be teachers.”

“Wow, this was cool to listen to, easy clear and straightforward, it’s the kind of feedback you can’t refuse to hear, once you press play you get the good points and the bad points, when I came on to listen to it, it was like, oh dear this could be sad news and was scared of listening to it but I like the completeness of the feedback, sure things that have been helpful and I think I will be better doing the same thing now even without seeing the returned work. Thanks, Anne and I think this was a great idea and surely audio feedback is a plus.”
