How to Give Feedback 🎁

1. Be Respectful.

• First and foremost, be positive, supportive, and respectful
• You're giving feedback on the writing, not the writer
• The writer has put a lot of time and effort into their work, be considerate!

2. Be Specific.

• Go further than “this is great” or “this needs improvement," provide specific examples from their writing to complete the feedback guide
• Explain your reasoning
• For example, “I really like the way you used this specific metaphor because it added additional clarity to your complex topic.”
• Check out our Feedback Checklist for ideas on what to look for

3. Start a Discussion.

• Ask probing questions to hear the writer's input on your recommendations
• Attempt to understand their perspective
• Giving feedback is not a 1-sided activity
