Feedback
In the last several weeks of class, we frequently discussed feedback. At first, we talked a lot about people’s fear of feedback. I can understand why people are afraid to be critiqued, but it is still a very important mechanism of the learning process that cannot be ignored. Receiving feedback is one of the primary ways that people learn from their actions. Without proper and timely feedback, people will continue to make the same mistakes, and that is unacceptable on a personal and professional level. Perhaps the most important aspect of feedback is its timeliness. For example, if a professor neglects to return a graded exam in a timely manner, students may not remember the exam well enough to learn anything from the results.
