How can I provide effective feedback in formative assessments?

Effective feedback should be specific, timely, and constructive. Focus on strengths and areas for improvement.

Can you give me an example of specific feedback?

Sure! Instead of saying 'Good job,' you could say, 'Your analysis of the data was thorough, but consider adding more examples to support your argument.'

What if the student is struggling to understand the material?

In that case, provide feedback that includes additional resources or strategies, like recommending study groups or tutoring.

How often should I give feedback during the assessment process?

It's best to provide feedback regularly throughout the assessment process, not just at the end, to guide student learning.
