Communication between students and teachers is crucial at all educational levels and is particularly important in adult learning situations. Good feedback should be descriptive, specific, and constructive. Constructive feedback requires an atmosphere of trust and, above all, should not violate the personal integrity of either the sender or the receiver. When providing feedback, the speaker must assume ownership of the feelings that are being expressed. Therefore, the word "I" should be the subject of the feedback sentence. The predicate of the feedback sentence should contain a verb that conveys the speaker's feelings and should also describe the behaviors related to the feeling. (MN)
