This report evaluates the current state of assessment and feedback within the IAIS, revealing an NSS score of 84% despite generally low feedback and assessment scores among students. Key findings from student surveys, focus groups, and staff interviews highlight concerns, such as students' perceptions of feedback and assessment criteria. While 75% received feedback in a timely manner, many students feel unsure about the reflection of feedback on their marks. The report concludes with actionable recommendations, including improved use of WebCT, enhanced personal tutor engagement, and better communication of assessment criteria and learning outcomes.
