Assessment Feedback to Accounting Students

This study explores students’ perceptions of assessment feedback they receive, its usage and their expectations. A quantitative data collection and analysis were used to survey 92 final semester undergraduate students at faculty of accountancy of UiTM Perlis. Students’ responses showed that they value feedback irrespective of the marks they received and appreciated the model answers given by their lecturers. They moderately satisfied with the current practice of feedback system. The students expected to receive their feedback on quizzes ‘one week after’ and showed more tolerance with the timeframe for tests and assignments. The most preferred types of feedback were written and individual. However more than 2/3 of the respondents felt that the written feedback they received was not always clearly written and hardly to understand. One half of the respondents did not object their continuous assessment marks to be displayed on the lecturers’ notice board.
