PCE, Longslade

The session looked at providing feedback on assessment. How honest would I be in providing feedback? This seems an odd question to be asking, but the matter was raised that if a learner had performed really badly in an assessment, would I tell them just how badly they have performed and risk demotivating them? Would it be better to focus on the small positive aspects and offer guidance in where they should be going without letting on just how badly they are doing? I think this is a judgement call you have to make as a tutor, based on how well you know your learners as to what format the feedback is provided.
