FeedbackFruits offers a showcase of the university of Maastricht. Here they describe the outcomes of using Assignment Review. The teacher aims to create an environment in which students can continuously process feedback. It includes an open ended assignment, in which a 100% score is not possible to achieve. Feedback is key since there is not one correct answer to the assignment. It is ok for students to make mistakes and there should always be room for further improvement based on feedback .
