match the criteria for good work and how they show
what that student is learning. And it means choosing
words that communicate respect for the student and
the work. Your tone should indicate that you are
making helpful suggestions and giving the student a
chance to take the initiative. ("This paper needs
more detail. You could add more explanation about
the benefits of recycling, or you could add more
description of what should be done in your
neighborhood. Which suggestion do you plan to try
first?") If feedback comes across as a lecture or
suggestions come across as orders, students will not
understand that they are in charge of their own
learning.
Feedback should be specific enough that the student
knows what to do next, but not so specific that you
do the work. Identifying errors or types of errors is a
good idea, but correcting every error doesn't leave
the student anything to do.
These feedback principles apply to both simple and
complex assignments, and to all subjects and grade
levels. The following example of ineffective and,
especially, effective feedback on a writing
assignment reflects these principles in practice.
