This article on yesterday's publication of the Guardian University League Tables has some sensible advice about feedback for departments like ours where students aren't happy about this aspect of their courses: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2011/may/17/university-league-tables-student-survey?intcmp=239
The REAP Project (Re-engineering Assessement Processes in Scottish HE) has done some amazing work around feedback, peer review and assessment practices in general, all carefully validated by "before and after"research. This page has some stories of courses were redesigned in different institutions and departments: the University of Glasgow redesigned Computer Science accelerator course as part of the REAP Project: http://www.reap.ac.uk/reap/assessment/pilotsGUAcc.html .
