The assignment was actually marked and returned by Christmas eve (which is really quite a feat by the lecturer) but as I decided that I would "take off" the time between Christmas and New Year and not think about Uni or libraries or anything other than the family things I have only now come to look at it.
The feedback was extensive - in fact each sentence was marked in a way like a high school students with grammatical suggestions, and deleted, added and changed words and sentences. I did reasonably well but came away feeling that my work especially my referencing was rather sloppy. It was also the first time (in 2 masters!) that my academic writing style has been criticised - this included things like not having a space between the p and . in p.56 for example and the way i use in-text references. However, in some ways I wish this sort of feedback had been provided earlier as I think I became complaisant about some things which I will now strive to correct.
Having said that, I can see how the feedback and ideas will be useful in going ahead with the next assignment.
