This diagram lays out when in the course process you should submit work for formative feedback, and when you may (optionally) do so.

The required stop points are as follows:

1. Design documentation review
2. Review of three ideas for JavaScript programs
3. JavaScript program design review
4. JQuery proposal review
5. External data use review

These are all places where you submit proposals for what comes next. This means that, if they go wrong, you may make things very difficult for yourself later on. For this reason, we normally require that you do not submit work for the next stop point until you have received feedback from the last. We will, under certain circumstances (e.g. when we have been too slow in providing feedback, or when there is justified time pressure) make exceptions, if you contact us in advance.

It is up to you to contact your tutor if you wish for feedback on your finished work for any of the units. If you need it, please contact your tutor directly, providing the URL of your work (normally a post in the Landing and perhaps your site URL itself) either in an email or message via the Student Success Centre. Note that direct messages through the Landing or Moodle tend to be more easily missed, even though we do try to monitor them. Feedback, especially near the end of the course, will typically be fairly brief, and the tutor will not give a grade for it: this is purely intended to help you to know whether you are on the right path, and what might lead to improvements.

We do not expect that most students will need feedback on every unit but it would be sensible to ask for it when you have completed a substantial amount of work, in order to reassure yourself that you are doing OK. For most students, the most senssible times to ask for this would be after unit 3 (CSS) and after unit 5 (writing JavaScript) but everyone is different, with different needs, skills, and approaches, so do what seems best for you.
