This study examines students' reactions to the lecturers' formative feedback to determine whether it enhances their core and soft skills in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). Formative feedback confirms students' progress, enabling them to avoid common mistakes in the future and motivating them to complete assessments on time, aligned with the unit objectives. A design thinking approach was employed to understand student needs, challenge assumptions, redefine problems, and create innovative prototyping solutions. Additionally, a quantitative research method was used in this study, collecting 175 responses from postgraduate students studying Project Management and Green Information Technology and Sustainability units at an Australian university. The study results confirmed that 96% of respondents found the lecturers' formative feedback useful, motivating, helpful, encouraging, and easy to follow so they could learn from their mistakes. It also reduced reliance on AI tools in their assessments, making the learning process more interesting and creative, and led to students improving their assessment submission and independent learning skills. Furthermore, 93% of students confirmed that their core and soft skills (i.e., teamwork, motivation, time management, communication, oral presentation) were enhanced by completing the postgraduate units' assessments, including writing academic research reports, participating in team collaborative activities, reflective journals, real project plans, and delivering oral presentations. This outcome was supported by formative feedback as well as monitoring and tracking from the lecturers. A set of recommendations for implementing lecturers' formative feedback will be presented. In the future, this project will be transitioned into other units to strengthen its aims.
