Students learn more effectively if they receive frequent, meaningful, and rapid feedback.  This feedback may come from the instructor directly, from assignments and assessments that have feedback built into them, or even from other students.

Examples:

• Instructor participation in a discussion assignment.
• Writing assignments that require submission of a draft for instructor comment and suggestions for improvement.
• Self-mastery tests and quizzes that include informative feedback with each answer choice.
• Interactive games and simulation that have feedback built in.
