The course I teach through TRU is a hands-on workshop where students learn techniques directly related to their future career. Immediate feedback is extremely important, and this article has shed some light on some strategies to improve feedback.
I recognize that I often focus my feedback on the learner as opposed to the task. I hear myself saying “well done,” “good job,” or “that looks great,” which I now understand can actually dilute out effective feedback. I also feel I could explain goals more clearly and continue to reiterate these goals throughout the workshop to help keep the students working toward them and continuously self-assessing progress toward these goals.
