Abstract:
The article explains how professors can provide effective feedback to students in the context of an individualized meeting. To be effective, feedback must build on the student's current abilities. Feedback should also be specific and positive, explaining exactly what the student should do, rather than focusing on what the student shouldn't do. Only a manageable amount of feedback should be given at any one time, but feedback must be frequent, allowing the student to incorporate the feedback into his or her work.
