Feedback Example: what's good about this?


Here's an example of feedback on a PG Certificate on Teaching in HE:
This is a very good, clear learning statement. There is a useful description at the beginning which then moves to deeper, critical reflection. There is an awareness of how own experiences (both academic and work-based) have influenced personal learning and there is engagement with the literature. There is also evidence that personal development is linked to the PG xxx course. I can clearly see evidence that you are aware of how your teaching fits with the professional standards of HE and it is good to see that your concerns about feedback are rooted in these standards.
Although there is information about how the course and teaching styles can answer your own concerns about learning (using problem solving and practice-based learning), you do not make it explicitly clear that your experiences have influenced this teaching. In the learning statement it comes across as just a coincidence – if you have influenced this for the benefit of students maybe you should shout about it and be proud of it. 
So what's good about this?
