Feedback Theory

University students involved in a study led by Sinclair and Cleland (2006) revealed that less than half of the scholars bothered to collect their assessment feedback.

Whenever I think about what I have learned since the beginning of this course—English 101, It always gives me a great pleasure to tell myself and people around me that I have learned something great; something that can make me a better writer.

While spending my next four years at Florida A&M University I desire to obtain more information and spend more time writing so I will be able to get better.
