Developing Meaningful feedback
Developing Meaningful feedback
Be the subject matter expert:
Create open-ended questions that learners can explore and apply the concepts that they are learning Model good Socratic-type probing and follow-up questions. Why do you think that? What is your reasoning? Is there an alternative strategy?
Thank you,

Kimberly and Christopher,
Open ended questions do allow students to expand upon their answers and elain in more detail. It also helps them put things in their own words. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with you Christopher. Open-ended questions make students answer questions without stating one word answers. This allows them to explain their answer with more details and explanations which you can later elaborate on.
Julia ,
They do allow students to provide more information - that is true. We all find tools that work for us and, as you say, this is just one too. Thanks!
Prof Davis:
Open-ended questions are, I agree, an excellent tool to provoke thinking and problem solving by the students. They allow the students to give feedback from their learning experience as well as their personal experiences.
Using open-ended questions is just one tool for the instructor to use. Of course, there are other tools which can be employed with a different objective in mind.

John,
Right on. Generic comments are many times not meaningful. Students need meaningful feedback. Thanks for sharing.
Providing specific examples of areas to improve in I believe is critical. Generic comments do not always help. On the other hand...you do not have to go over the paper line by line in most cases.
Be safe.

Christopher,
Probing questions help get the students to think. Meaningful feedback should get them to think and help them improve. Nice job.
