Get Your Students Hired
When giving assignment feedback, I first praise the student for something she did right/well. Then, I direct her to where she went wrong. In addition, I provide guidance on where she can find resources within the course room to help her learn from her mistakes.
Paul,
Great. Seems like a method that is working for many instructors and students. Thanks!
I use the "sandwich" approach too. Because I have hybrid students I try to tie in online responses with in class situations or personal comments because I know the students better than I would in a strictly online environment. I also try to use anecdotes or mention material we will be getting to later in order to provide incentive.
