feedback for this assessment.>

General Constructive Feedback Examples For Students

The below examples are general templates that need to be edited so they are specific to the
student’s work.
1. You are on the right track. By starting to study for the exam earlier, you may be able to
retain more knowledge on exam day.
2. I have seen your improvement over time. As a next step, it is a good idea to…
3. You have improved a lot and should start to look towards taking on harder tasks for the
future to achieve more self-development.
4. You have potential and should work on your weaknesses to achieve better outcomes. One
area for improvement is…

Page 7 of 12 1 std Semester 2022/2023 A/Y]

EMEg 3104 Electrical Machine Course Outline

5. Keep up the good work! You will see better results in the future if you make the effort to
attend our study groups more regularly.
6. You are doing well, but there is always room for improvement. Try these tips to get better
results: …
7. You have made some good progress, but it would be good to see you focusing harder on
the assignment question so you don’t misinterpret it next time.
8. Your efforts are commendable, but you could still do better if you provide more specific
examples in your explanations.
9. You have done well so far, but don’t become complacent – there is always room for
improvement! I have noticed several errors in your notes, including…

weakness to focus on is…
13. Your efforts are commendable, but it would have been good to have seen you focus
throughout as your performance waned towards the end of the session.
15. While your work is good, I feel you are becoming complacent – keep looking for ways to
improve. For example, it would be good to see you concentrating harder on providing critique
of the ideas explored in the class.

question.
12. The examples you used were interesting, but you could have elaborated more on their
relevance to the essay.
13. There are a few errors in terms of grammar and spelling, but your essay is overall well-
constructed. 14. Your essay is easy to understand and covers all the key points, but you could
use more evaluative language to strengthen your argument.
15. You have provided a good thesis statement, but the examples seem overly theoretical. Are
there some practical examples that you could provide?

Constructive Feedback For Student Reports

1. You have worked very hard this semester. Next semester, work on being more consistent
with your homework.

3. You are doing well in most subjects, but you could improve your grades by paying more
attention in class and completing all your homework.
4. You are doing well in most subjects, but you could still improve your grades by studying
more and asking for help when you don’t understand something.
5. You have shown great improvement this semester, keep up the good work! However, you
might want to focus on improving your test scores by practicing more.
6. You have made some good progress this semester, but you need to continue working hard
if you want to get good grades next year when the standards will rise again.
7. Next semester, focus on completing all your homework on time and paying more attention
in class.

EMEg 3104 Electrical Machine Course Outline

8. You have worked hard this semester, but you could still improve your grades by taking
your time rather than racing through the work.
9. Next semester, focus on completing all your homework in advance so you have time to
check it over before submission.
10. While you usually understand the instructions, don’t forget to ask for help when you
don’t understand something rather than guessing.
