Supporting students' learning through a program focusing on formative feedback

Designed in order to support learning and success of First-Year students enrolled in the same programs at the University of Liège (Belgium), the « Feedback First-Year Project » has been successively implemented in five different Faculties since its creation in 2013. This structured project consists in providing a customized pedagogical support - teams of advisers made of specialists in instructional sciences and content-domain experts - to the professors in charge of First-Year courses in those schools in order to discuss the opportunity to regulate or optimize some aspects of their teaching (collectively or individually), focusing on their formative feedback practices with Freshmen.
