The weekly feedback session
After the first week, every learning group session follows the same 50-minute format, until your presentation. Only your own learning group is present, so several groups run their sessions in parallel elsewhere in the studio. Your coach moves between the groups.
| Part | Time | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Pair / trio round | 25 min | The group splits into a pair and a trio and discusses each other's work. Both run at the same time. |
| Closing round | 10 min | The group meets in a circle. Each student takes about 2 minutes. |
| Portflow write-up | 10 min | Everyone writes up their feedback and next-iteration agreement in Portflow. |
| Margin | 5 min | Moving between the rounds. This time is deliberately not planned away. |
These times are for a group of five. Your coach may adjust them slightly depending on the size of the group.
In the pair / trio round, each of you gets roughly 12 minutes in a pair or 8 minutes in a trio. Show your current work, or one concrete technical test where possible, and bring what you found when testing your work. The feedback covers both the system behaviour and the next iteration. Who is in the pair and who is in the trio rotates every week, so over the iterations you work with every other student in your group at least once.
In the closing round, you share three things:
- where you stand,
- the main point you took from your pair or trio conversation, and
- your agreement for the next iteration.
The feedback is formative. It supports your development in the learning group and is not a scored assessment moment.
