• How do we clarify to the student what good performance is?
• How do we feedback in a way that encourages students to take action to address their individual learning styles?
• How do we facilitate the development of self assessment and reflection in relation to learning?

Academic staff in the School of Design at Northumbria University have some confidence that subject teaching promotes deep approaches to learning, through practice, in a studio culture which encourages frequent, informal feedback between tutor and student.
