Feedback is an important part of the learning process. This can come from yourself (e.g. self-evaluation, performance results) or others (e.g. critical dialog and reinforcement). The information you get from feedback allows you to evaluate your progress and make adjustments where appropriate, thus providing a loop back to Planning, Knowing, and Applying. Providing feedback to others also enhances your own learning, and contributes positively to your scholarly community. The following are recommended feedback:
Evaluate Others
Provide feedback and critical responses on others' work. This can be done through Comments that include feedback on the quality of work, recommendations for improvement, response essays, or other critical feedback aimed at improving the content.
Flagging is another good way to provide feedback. Content can be flagged using the flag options associated with each post (e.g. Nominate as Outstanding, Flag as Inaccurate). Beyond the value of the feedback to the author of the content, flagging is an important feedback mechanism for a scholarly community to ensure accuracy and quality in the collective body of work presented.
Examine Your Feedback
Be responsive and adaptable to feedback on your work. Re-evaluate your work and respond by revising work, fixing inaccuracies, asking follow-up questions, or presenting a counter-point with evidence.
Exams
Examine questions you missed during exams or quizzes and plan a strategy for preparing for other exams. Ask the instructor for explanation on certain answer responses you do not understand.
Grading
Use instructor feedback to make adaptations and adjustments in the quality and nature of presented work.
