Webinar: The Role of Feedback in the Classroom

In Tuesday's webinar, we focused on using feedback as a teaching device. Yuna Buhrman, from the ASU College of Health Solutions, shared a survey that she did on student and faculty perceptions of feedback. This survey contained many insightful comments and tips for faculty to take back to their own classrooms.

We worked to better define feedback and the difference between formal and informal feedback, as well as "how" and "when" to use them. We also shared the 3 components of good feedback:

• Making it relevant by connecting it to the objectives and goals of the student
• Making it specific by providing examples of how to improve, or validating what was done well.
• Making it timely by using auto feedback for quick responses, combined with opportunities for individual feedback within a few days. 

The webinar ended with tips for using peer feedback, and some of the typical challenges and possible solutions. Below are the resources that were shared with participants.
