I’ve been getting some of my first wave T2 assignments back and I’m really over the lack of actionable feedback. This isn’t a new thing either it’s been happening on and off since the start of my degree.

I don’t know what factors contribute to it and it’s certainly not all units but I find units that have external markers beyond the UC have a higher chance of you getting vague or nickpicky feedback.

I thought the whole point of getting marks and feedback was to get information and pointers to be able to improve. There’s only so much I can do with “some areas needed more detail” without any explanation about what detail was required or why.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Rant over.

As a PST I’m continually astounded by how impractical or irrelevant assignments at uni actually are. For this reason I thought I’d ask the community to share their experiences with useless uni assignments. I’m talking about the ones that are completely impractical and have barely anything to do with teaching.

I’ll go first, for my behaviour management unit I have to complete a random internet quiz which will spit out some traits it thinks I have then I have to justify how the internet quiz assigned traits contribute to my teaching. Like I’m sorry but what in the world does that have to do with Behaviour management?
