Which of the following best describes best practices for communicating feedback to students?

Specific, actionable, timely, private when needed, balanced with positive reinforcement, and focused on behavior not person.

Clear, actionable feedback that is timely, private when needed, balanced with positive reinforcement, and focused on behavior rather than the person best supports student growth. When feedback specifies exactly what happened, why it matters, and how to improve—with concrete steps or cues—the student has a clear path to progress and feels respected, which boosts motivation and performance. Vague, public, or outcome-only feedback leaves students unsure what to change and can undermine confidence. Harsh, immediate, or peer-comparative feedback tends to create defensiveness and anxiety, while infrequent or non-specific feedback leaves learners guessing about next steps. The most effective approach combines precise guidance with encouragement, so students understand expectations, stay engaged, and steadily improve.

Vague, general, public, and evaluative only on outcomes.

Harsh, immediate, and comparing to peers to motivate improvement.

Occasional, non-specific, and based on instructor opinion.
