OLFM FEEDBACK

Please feel free to share your thoughts on feedback:

What kinds of feedback do you give your students?

COMMENTS

My students are not on Blackboard so I give them feedback through email. Those students who use MyMathLab can ask me questions through it. I also put detailed feedback on the assignments themselves. How can feedback be used to motivate students and improve their work? How can students be motivated to give feedback?
