Let’s listen to one!!!http://seacoast.sunderland.ac.uk/~ds0cne/audiofeedback/
“Wow, this was cool to listen to, easy clear and straightforward, it’s the kind of feedback you can’t refuse to hear, once you press play you get the good points and the bad points, when I came on to
listen to it, it was like, oh dear this could be sad news and was scared of listening to it but I like the completeness of the feedback, sure things that have been
helpful and I think I will be better doing the same thing now even without seeing the returned work. Thanks, Anne and I think this was a great idea and surely
audio feedback is a plus.”
