Are you ready to fight with feedback?
Do you shudder at the thought of reading what your tutor has said about your essay? Or do you read the advice and think, “Challenge accepted”?
Episode 030 of TUB-Thump urges you to choose the latter. Get back in the ring and defeat the beast of feedback.
Using Colin Neville’s book, How To Improve Your Assignment Results, I take at look at what it means when you act (or not) in Flight, Fright and Fight modes.
The upshot is not to put your head in the sand. You may shrug off a bad result and hope to do better next time. But your grades will thank you if you take a stand and tackle the beast.
Ding ding! The next round starts now.

- 00:30 – What’s your first reaction when you get a piece of coursework back? Do you engage with the feedback, or do you want to get away from it?
- 01:20 – How to improve your assignment results (Open Up Study Skills) – Colin Neville
- 01:35 – Flight, Fright, or Fight?
- 02:20 – The main options are Fright or Fight. Fright is doing nothing. Fight is taking action.
- 03:10 – Not tackling the issues = Less chance of the grade you deserve in the next piece of work. And the next. And so on.
- 04:00 – Working with the feedback could allow you to work a bit easier in your subsequent assignments. A bit of attention now may go a long way.
- 04:15 – “A poor coursework result is not a damning verdict on you as a human being. It’s a transient comment on your past work.”
- 05:10 – A finished essay isn’t entirely finished with. Use it to improve in your next piece of work.
- 06:35 – Do this even when you get a great result. Emulate the effective methods and examples too.
