Giving and Receiving Feedback (CTE1106)

Feedback is a critical component of teaching and learning.

This workshop will help you improve your feedback practice as an instructor/TA by reflecting on and enhancing your current feedback approaches. In this workshop, you will explore what makes feedback effective for improving student learning and review examples of effective feedback techniques that consider the phrasing, timing, utility, and emotional impact of feedback for learning. We will discuss key concepts about feedback, provide practical strategies to make feedback more useful to students, and offer tips for engaging students in the feedback process.
