Constructive feedback

Be Objective

State your own observations, not your personal interpretation. For example, was your tutor really ignoring you in class, or were they just busy helping other students?

Be Human

Often you are giving feedback to a real person with real feelings! Be considerate and allow for small errors or mishaps. Read the compliment sandwich to learn how to keep things fair but constructive.

Be Balanced

Give praise where it is due. Remember what was done right is just as important as what needs work. Provide a balance of positive and negative feedback, and remember to identify what can be improved.

Be Specific

Always focus on providing actionable feedback! Try and make your feedback clear and avoid vaguely addressing the topic.
