Providing & Receiving Constructive Feedback: Educating Students

File pdf 301KB

Students are often asked to provide constructive feedback (i.e., open-ended questions on course evaluations, instructors asking for feedback on course practices throughout the semester, peer feedback), yet do students ever receive guidance or training on how to provide constructive feedback? We may provide constructive feedback to students on course assignments, but do we thoroughly explain to students how to effectively make use of the feedback? This session provides tools to educate our students on effective constructive feedback through an in-class activity and includes a handout which can be used in your classroom.
