    On Thursday 11th May, the Centre for Teaching and Learning is facilitating a Y1Feedback - Feedback Approaches for First Year seminar. The Y1Feedback project is a Maynooth University led initiative in collaboration with our HEA cluster partners; Athlone Institute of Technology, Dublin City University, and Dundalk Institute of Technology and funded by the National Forum for the Enhancement for Teaching and Learning.

    This seminar will provide an opportunity to explore and share feedback approaches for first year and to learn more about the finding from the Y1Feedback project. In addition, the seminar will showcase Maynooth University Y1Feedback case studies, with colleagues from across the university presenting their feedback in first year initiatives.

    The seminar will be of interest to staff interested in assessment and feedback, in particular staff involved in assessment and feedback in first year. All staff are welcome.
