teacher and the
student and mots
importantly to the
student as the
teacher will make
the analysis on the
things which
requires
improvement in the
child so that it can
be corrected before
the summative
feedback. This will
help me in providing
the feedback so that
I can make the
corrections in the
summative
assessment which
will be done just
after the formative
feedback(Brower,
Schwartz and
Bertrand Jones,
2019).
The formative feedback
evaluation is the
important factor which
is helpful for the
student to develop and
build their confidence.
It is because in this the
teacher will provide
them the feedback to
the student about the
things for which which

given the feedback
which was in the
formative duration in
which I was told to
develop my critical
thinking skills as this
will be useful in my
answer writing. I have

formative feedback to
be the most important
thing as this has helped
me to develop myself
for the summative
assessment.

feedback will be
provided to me it
will tell me the
changes which I
have to make in
my subjects and
also those things
which I have to
develop.
