# 4.3 Delivery of feedback

You’ll start with an activity.

## Activity 20

Think of the last time you felt you learned something from feedback on your performance or where you received useful, workable suggestions to something you were doing.

- How was it delivered to you?
- How did it make you feel and why?
- What was done well by the person giving the feedback?
- What was done not so well by the person giving the feedback?

Effective feedback delivered in the right way at the right time supports the student in the best way possible and sets the tone for making fair judgements. Each student is different and so the feedback you give needs to be bespoke to that person and the situation at that time. Hardavella et al. (2017) say that when preparing to give feedback, think about:

- What would you like to achieve through your feedback?
- What do you want to highlight?
  - What went well?
  - Where could there be some improvements?
