More Review On Feedback What kind of feedback do you give to your students after checking their homework? Why is feedback important? 2 minutes What are your opinions about giving written feedback? How effective is it for your students? What do you think about peer feedback?

Research to Discuss On Feedback, Part 1 Feedback should be “corrective” in nature. The best feedback involves an explanation of what is accurate/inaccurate Feedback should be timely. Feedback given immediately after a test-like situation is best. The more delay, the less improvement. Your thoughts & opinions on either point?

Research to Discuss On Feedback, Part 2 Feedback should be specific to a criterion. The most useful feedback refers to a specific level of skill or knowledge of the student. Students can effectively provide some of their own feedback. Students can monitor their own progress via a chart/record and self-evaluation. Your thoughts & opinions on either point?
