 * Assessment Feedback: An Agenda for Change **
 * Korte Samenvatting **

She sees feedback as a relational process, where feedback is not a product that is delivered by the teacher, but something of a relational entity. Feedback sometimes should be a dialogue, but it is not quite clear what is meant by that in practice.

Feedback has as a goal to teach students to evaluate their own work. This is a theme that we heard in other talks. We have heard from Mr. Orsmond, for example, that good students aim at assessing themselves, while weak students focus on teacher expectations. How feedback can accomplish this, however, is unclear. What seems like an interesting presentation turns out to be an exercise in hopping from problem to problem without digging deeper in their causes or, most importantly, their solutions. I find it difficult to take seriously a researcher whose fiery calls for ‘a more holistic approach’ are not accompanied by any concrete steps on how to get there or what she would even mean by it.
