How to solicit, interpret, and act on feedback from instructors and peers.

Feedback is a learning tool when approached constructively. Ask specific questions when requesting feedback what to improve, examples, and next steps. Read comments with curiosity rather than defensiveness and identify patterns across assignments. Create an action plan with concrete changes to implement in the next draft or task. If feedback is unclear, ask followup questions during office hours. Track improvements over time to demonstrate growth. Using feedback iteratively accelerates skill development and improves grades.
