I’m a student that would rather receive a vase amount of
feedback from an instructor as opposed to minimal words, or not at all. The class
discussion on whether the feedback was too extensive, harsh, or unnecessary had
its pros and cons. I agree with on colleague that stated some of the words used
to were inappropriate and harsh. To that extent I agree, although the feedback
might have been helpful and necessary, as instructors we must be sure not to
crush or student’s while they are already down and use descriptive words that
will not be considered offensive. Now the length of the feedback is generally
up to how you read into your students. Some would look at a typed page and a
half response and immediately be discouraged, unreceptive or sensitive. It’s up
to the instructor to know what type of feedback would best suit the needs of
their students. Me personally like another colleague stated would have
appreciated such extensive notes. I have been on the other receiving side when I
had not received any feedback at all and was lost on what needed improvement or
where I lacked in my writing or even what my strong suits were. I am open to
feedback that is detailed and specific because I feel it will only help to
improve my skills. Nevertheless there is a dual responsibility instructors
have, properly wording feedback and giving adequate lengths of comments/notes.
