Giving Feedback to Students
Feedback on the student’s assessment performance is a vital element of learning. Its purpose
is to justify to students how their competency was assessed, as well as to identify and reward
specific qualities in their work, to recommend aspects needing improvement, and to guide
students on what steps to take.
Feedback defines for students what their trainer/assessor think is important for the student to
know with regards to a topic or a subject. At its best, feedback must:
• Be provided for each Assessment Task
• Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies
• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust their teaching to accommodate the student’s
learning needs
• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual
• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes
• Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own critics
• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning
Feedback must not provide short/one-word comments, such as “Fantastic” or “Great work!” Feedback
must be:
• Constructive - highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of a given piece of work,
it must set out ways in which the student can improve the work.
• Timely – must be given while the assessed work is still fresh in a student's mind
before the student moves on to subsequent tasks.
• Meaningful- must target individual needs, be linked to specific assessment criteria,
and be received by a student in time to benefit subsequent work.
If students have not received proper feedback, they may speak to the Compliance or
Administration Department responsible for looking after the quality and compliance services
of the Training Organisation. For more information, please refer to the Training
Organisation’s Student Handbook.

An elderly resident was eating snacks in the dining room when he started feeling sick and then vomited. Upon
seeing this, you and a co-worker quickly approached the resident for assistance. Your co-worker offered to
accompany him to the toilet and asked if you could clean the area.
On the table, you saw there was leftover food on the plate. There was vomit all over it, and the vomit contained
some blood. The utensils, a fork and a knife, were also contaminated. A glass was tipped over which caused a
water spill. There was also a bit of vomit on the floor.
Additional precautions must be observed since the resident might have an infectious disease.

a. Wipe the vomit on the table in accordance with organisational procedures; for
example, using disposable paper towels or disposable cloth and disposing of them
along with the leftover food in a yellow contaminated waste disposal bag.
b. Place the contaminated instruments such as the plate, fork, knife and glass in a
yellow contaminated waste disposal bag separate from the disposable materials or
in accordance with workplace procedures.
c. Wipe the vomit and spilled water off the floor in accordance with organisational
procedures; for example, using paper towels or disposable cloth and discarding
the materials you used in the appropriate bag.
d. Clean the surfaces using warm water and detergent in accordance with workplace
procedures. For example, use a kitchen towel, dishcloth, or sponge for the table. A
different towel, cloth or sponge must be used on the floor. Alternatively, a mop
may also be used.
e. Disinfect the contaminated surfaces in accordance with workplace procedures.
For example, apply disinfectant on disposable paper towels or disposable cloth to
wipe the table and the floor and place them in the appropriate bag. Allow the
disinfectant to remain on the surface for the period of time required to kill the
virus as specified by its manufacturer. If there is no time specified, leave it on the
surface for 10 minutes. Certain chlorine-based disinfectants may need to be rinsed
off with water after its contact time has been achieved.
9. Minimise the contamination of the cleaning materials and equipment, non-disposable
PPE, and tableware by aerosol and splatter.
a. Use bottles with flip top caps and apply the cleaning agent directly to the cleaning
cloth. Do not use spray bottles to apply cleaning agents to surfaces. These create
aerosols which can be breathed in.
b. When washing cleaning materials and equipment, non-disposable PPE and
tableware, keep the running water on low pressure to reduce splatter. Splatter may
cause further spreading of harmful germs and infection on clean surfaces.
c. Avoid the ‘double dipping’ of used cloths into clean solution.
10. Confine contaminated materials, instruments and equipment to a well-designated
contaminated zone.
a. Ensure that you do not enter designated clean zones when transporting contaminated
items.
b. Ensure that you discarded contaminated disposable items for safe removal in the
proper garbage bin.
c. Close the waste bag with discarded items. Collect it by handling the bag from the
top. Do not compress the bag with your hands.
d. Ensure that the cleaning materials and equipment, non-disposable PPE and
tableware are kept, washed and disinfected within the well-designated
