Feedback Definition
Feedback is an effective teaching/learning practice
and is defined as an integral aspect of instruction and
learning utilizing information provided by an agent (e.g.
teacher, peer, book, parent, self/experience, computer)
regarding aspects of one’s performance or understanding.
The main purpose of feedback is to reduce discrepancies
between current understanding or performance and
some desired level of performance or goal.
