Abstract
Getting feedback on assignments is as ubiquitous of an educational experience as anything. The goal of feedback is to move students from where their skills and knowledge currently lie to some end criteria identified by the instructor. The present study highlights the gap between theory and practice by comparing undergraduate students’ views on the purposes and idealized content of feedback to those of academics. The results suggest a shared understanding of the purpose of feedback. However, students do not necessarily want feedback that reflects those purposes. The relationship between students’ views on feedback and their actual experiences with feedback are briefly discussed, as are the implications of the findings.
