Teaching Practices (Poster Only) – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion

Abstract

Many of our undergraduate students grew up in the age of “everyone gets a trophy” and are overly sensitive to corrective feedback from peers and instructors. Likewise, they are often uncomfortable giving useful feedback to their peers. In this session, we present strategies to facilitate formative feedback with students and between students focusing on social support strategies for giving oral feedback and preparing students to give feedback that is specific, useful, and kind. We include examples and discuss student responses to the strategies.
