Feedback, Assessment and Reporting | Federation University

EDMAS6046 Feedback, Assessment and Reporting

This unit is designed to enhance knowledge and skills related to feedback, assessment and reporting in schools. It begins with opportunities to reflect on and evaluate personal assessment experiences in schools. PSTs develop an understanding of assessment and feedback principles, policies, purposes and research. They use current research to critique policies and practices, and the cultural, social and political influences on assessment and reporting in schools. PSTs learn how to make informed, consistent judgements about students' performances and how to use this knowledge to inform next steps in teaching. PSTs learn a range of strategies for effectively assessing students' learning, providing relevant, constructive feedback and for reporting on students' progress to parents and carers.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
