Feedback tracker report for students

This guide is intended for students. Staff should refer to the general Feedback tracker miniguide.

 

What is it?

The feedback tracker report shows students all their assessments on Moodle in one easy page.

It also shows whether an assessment has feedback, and whether it is formative or summative.

Under Submission, you will see:

  • Submitted (green) = you submitted before the assessment due date. 

  • Submitted late (yellow) = you submitted after the assessment due date. 

  • Overdue (red) = you have not submitted, and the assessment due date has passed. 

Feedback Due date: This date is based upon the UCL’s academic policy on Assessment feedback requirement that feedback should be delivered within 20 UCL working days excluding all UCL holidays.  

Feedback Status Indicator: The Feedback indicator will display:  

  • Released (green) = Feedback has been released within 20 working days from the assessment due date. 

  • Released late (yellow) = Feedback has been released but it took longer than 20 working days from the assessment due date.  

  • Overdue (red) = Feedback has not been released and more than 20 working days has passed from the assessment due date. 

Under Mark you will see whether an assessment is:

  • Summative: counts towards course mark.

  • Formative: does not contribute to course mark.

Why use it?

The Feedback tracker report helps students to better understand the variety of feedback they receive, and draw ties between different assessments and modules.

It also allows students and teachers to see the status of submissions and feedback. This will allow you to see where feedback is pending, and check in with your tutors about any overdue feedback.

How do I access and use Feedback tracker reports?

You can navigate to your own Feedback tracker report via the Feedback block on your dashboard.

The block gives you direct access to your latest assessed work. 

The block provides links to submissions and any feedback that has been returned via Moodle. It highlights recent feedback but also allows you to view all your feedback for the current academic year through a link: "Feedback tracker".

You will only see the feedback block when you have recent feedback. If you can’t see the feedback block, you can still access the Feedback tracker by clicking on your user profile menu, and then Feedback tracker.

 

Q. Why can't I see my grades and feedback in the Feedback tracker report?

This could be for a number of reasons. Most likely the feedback isn’t available yet. Please check with the contact person for your module.
